MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Researchers are returning to the Alabama coast near Mobile to assess the sunken remains of the last slave ship to bring captive Africans to the United States more than 160 years ago.
The Alabama Historical Commission says a team will begin a 10-day evaluation of the remnants of the Clotilda on Monday. Experts have described the wreck as the most complete slave ship ever discovered.
The agency has hired Resolve Marine, a salvage and services company, for work involving the Clotilda. The ship was scuttled in the muddy Mobile River after illegally dropping off 110 West Africans on the Alabama coast in 1860, decades after Congress outlawed the international slave trade.
The company plans to moor a 100-foot-long (30.5-meter-long) barge at the site with equipment to support divers and store artifacts that are removed from the water for analysis and documentation.
“It is a tremendous duty to ensure the Clotilda is evaluated and preserved,” Aaron Jozsef, the project manager for Resolve Marine, said in a statement.
Some have advocated for removing the wreckage from the water and placing it on display in a new museum that’s being discussed, and officials have said the work will help determine whether such a project is possible.
The Clotilda’s voyage was financed by a wealthy Alabama businessman, Timothy Meaher, whose descendants still have extensive land holdings around Mobile. Enslaved upon their arrival in Alabama, some of the Africans started a community called Africatown USA just north of Mobile after the Civil War, and many of their descendants still live there.
Ship wreckage in the river was identified as being that of the Clotilda in 2019, and officials have been assessing the site and deciding what to do with it ever since. While small parts of the two-masted wooden schooner have been brought to the surface, researchers have found that most of the ship — including the pen that was used to imprison the captives — remains intact on the river bottom.
Working with the state and SEARCH Inc., Resolve Marine said it will perform work including an assessment of the Clotilda’s hull and a limited excavation of artifacts. It’s also developing a plan to conserve the wreckage where it’s currently located in the river a few miles north of Mobile.
The work, which is being funded with a $1 million state appropriation, “will add to the collective understanding of the vessel and the site’s potential to yield significant archaeological information about the ship and its final voyage,” Jozsef said. | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national/researchers-returning-for-assessment-of-last-us-slave-ship/ | 2022-05-01T20:07:29Z | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national/researchers-returning-for-assessment-of-last-us-slave-ship/ | false |

MADRID (AP) — Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic criticized Wimbledon's decision to exclude Russian and Belarus players from this year’s tournament following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The two tennis greats said Sunday that Wimbledon had acted unfairly.
“I think it’s very unfair of (on) my Russian tennis mates, my colleagues ... it’s not their fault what’s happening in this moment with the war,” Nadal, a 21-time Grand Slam winner, said in Spain where both he and Djokovic are preparing to play in the Madrid Open.
“I’m sorry for them,” Nadal said. “Wimbledon just took their decision ... the government didn’t force them to do it."
Nadal added: “Let’s see what happens in the next weeks, if the players will take some kind of decision in that regard.”
The ATP and WTA tennis tours have both publicly criticized the All England Club’s decision which was announced April 20.
Wimbledon starts on June 27.
The prominent players affected by the ban include reigning U.S. Open champion Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and French Open runner-up Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, who are all from Russia. Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, which has aided Russian forces, would also be unable to play.
Djokovic compared the situation of the excluded players to what he went through in January when he was unable to play the Australian Open. He was deported from Australia for not being vaccinated against COVID-19.
“It’s not the same thing, but going through something similar earlier this year for myself, it’s frustrating knowing that you’re not able to play,” Djokovic said. “I still stand by my position that I don’t support the (Wimbledon) decision. I think it’s just not fair, it’s not right, but it is what it is.”
The All England Club had justified its action in a statement first posted on Twitter.
“In the circumstances of such unjustified and unprecedented military aggression, it would be unacceptable for the Russian regime to derive any benefits from the involvement of Russian or Belarusian players with The Championships,” the statement said.

RUSTENBURG, South Africa (AP) — South African President Cyril Ramaphosa abandoned his Workers’ Day speech in the northwestern city of Rustenburg on Sunday when striking mineworkers stormed the stage.
The workers employed by Sibanye-Stillwater mine are demanding a wage increase of 1,000 rand ($63) per month instead of the 850 rand ($54) being offered by the mine.
Ramaphosa had decided to mark the Workers Day, a public holiday in South Africa to mark May 1, by giving a speech to union members in Rustenburg, a mining center.
Ramaphosa was booed as he started his address with a call for the striking workers and other members of the Congress of South African Trade Unions to calm down and listen to what he had to say.
“We have heard that you want your 1,000 rand. We will deal with that matter,” Ramaphosa told the protesting workers.
Shortly after that Ramaphosa was forced to give up his speech altogether when angry miners stormed the field and overwhelmed police surrounding the stage at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium. Ramaphosa’s security guards whisked him away from the venue.
The striking workers have become even angrier in recent days over reports that Sibanye-Stillwater’s CEO, Neal Froneman, earned more than 300 million rand ($19 million) in 2021 in salary payments and company share schemes.
Rustenburg in North West Province is a tumultuous area for Ramaphosa and South Africa’s ruling African National Congress party. Many union members continue to blame them for the Marikana massacre, where 34 miners were shot dead by police during a strike at the Lonmin mine in 2012, when Ramaphosa was a non-executive director of Lonmin.
The tumultuous scene Sunday indicates the challenges that Ramaphosa faces later this year in his effort to be reelected head of the ANC as the unions are a key constituency of the party. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/protesting-miners-stop-speech-by-south-africas-president/ | 2022-05-01T20:10:34Z | https://www.wowktv.com/news/protesting-miners-stop-speech-by-south-africas-president/ | true |
Alec Baldwin wears all black to pick up takeout food near his home on Long Island in New York... after his son Rafael broke his arm
Alec Baldwin looked casual in all black as he picked up a take-out order near his home in East Hampton, New York Saturday.
The 64-year-old stepped out in a black golf shirt and slacks with brown shoes on his food run in the small coastal village on Long Island.
The Oscar nominee was clean-shaven but his salt and pepper hair was tousled by the wind blowing in from the Atlantic ocean.
Food run: Alec Baldwin looked casual in all black as he picked up a take-out order near his home in East Hampton, New York Saturday
This coms after his son Rafael broke his arm when playing in a park in New York on Wednesday, causing him to spent hours inside the Lenox Hill Hospital.
Hilaria, 36, took to Instagram to share photos of their six-year-old son including a snap where her 64-year-old husband held their little one in his arms while Rafael wore a sling.
Another shot showed Rafael with breathing tubes spreading out all over his face and sticking in his nose.
Casual: The 64-year-old stepped out in a black golf shirt and slacks with brown shoes on his food run in the small coastal village on Long Island
Investigation: The outing came days police released more than 150 hours of footage from the fatal shooting on the set of Rust, in which a gun the actor was holding misfired, killing cinematographer Halayna Hutchins
In a different picture, Rafael laid on the floor on top of myriad pillows while he tried to sleep.
A couple of his siblings seemed to take a serious interest in his cast, and he showed them his new arm adornment.
Hilaria, a yoga instructor and author, shared the long and difficult experience in her post's caption.
Kindness not cancel: Alec's wife, Hilaria, 38, admonished her podcast listeners to end 'cancel culture' and instead 'reach out to' online critics 'and just tell them that you support them as a human'
'Rafa broke his arm really badly yesterday, playing at the park,' the caption read. 'You will see him with a cast for quite a while now, so I wanted to give you a heads up. Thank you Lennox Hill emergency room for taking such good care of our baby. So grateful to the doctors and the nurses for your expertise and kindness.
'This is a part of being a parent that is so heartbreaking. We were with the babies when it happened and to get that call makes your heart sink. His little voice on the phone “I want my mommy”…knowing even the 20 min to get to him is 20 min too long.
'To not be able to immediately take away their pain and fear…oooof nothing prepares us for this, right? We were at the hospital until pretty late and then we made a bed on our floor (wild sleeper, was afraid he might fall off our bed). How many times he called out for me last night, I do not know. At one point I heard him whispering to himself, recounting what happened, saying over and over: “I broke my arm”.'
She finished off her post on a positive note, writing, 'We are relieved that, while it will be a long recovery road, he is certainly on it [pink hearts emoji].'
Scary: Alec and Hilaria Baldwin's son Rafael spent hours in the hospital after breaking his arm on Wednesday
The outing occurred just days after investigators released 168 videos of footage before and after the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halayna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust when a gun the actor was holding reportedly misfired.
The director, Joel Souza, was also injured in the incident.
The actor's wife, Hilaria Baldwin, 38, has called for an end to 'cancel culture' and 'online mob attacks' amid fears vicious trolling can 'drive people to suicide'.
Keeping fans in the loop: Hilaria, 36, took to Instagram to share photos of their 6-year-old son
The Departed star has been at the center of vicious attacks online since in the fatal shooting.
The podcaster, who is currently expecting her seventh child with Alec, urged her Instagram followers to be more mindful of others, urging, 'If you see somebody getting attacked by the online mob, or any kind of cancel culture, instead of scrolling past, or worst, getting involved, reach out to them and just tell them that you support them as a human.'
Breathing tubes: One shot showed Rafael with breathing tubes spreading out all over his face and sticking in his nose
'You don't have to agree with them a 100%, you don't even have to even understand what they're attacking them for.'
The former yoga teacher, who was subjected to online ridicule over her Spanish background in 2020, went on to add that social media hate can result in devastating consequences.
Speaking from personal experience, she added: 'I can tell you, that this kind of attack is mental torture.'
'This idea of nitpicking, and having partial information, and taking things out of context, or even when people completely disappoint you, it is not for us to be judging everybody all the time. It's absolutely impossible to make absolutely everybody happy, and to be in alignment with everybody. We're more divided than ever.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10773079/Alec-Baldwin-wears-black-pick-takeout-food-near-home-Long-Island.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-01T20:16:27Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10773079/Alec-Baldwin-wears-black-pick-takeout-food-near-home-Long-Island.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

$10K reward offered for capture of murder suspect, missing Alabama officer
FLORENCE, Ala. - The U.S. Marshals Service is offering a $10,000 reward for information that leads to the capture of an Alabama capital murder suspect and the missing corrections officer who left the jail with him Friday morning.
Assistant Director of Corrections Vicki White, a 25-year veteran of the Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office, disappeared around 9:30 a.m. Friday after leaving the jail with inmate Casey White (no relation). Officer White told colleagues she was taking the inmate to a mental health hearing, but no such hearing was scheduled, according to the sheriff’s office. She also said she was going to see a doctor after the hearing because she wasn’t feeling well, but authorities don’t believe she made an appointment or went to a walk-in clinic.
The vehicle they were traveling in when they left the detention center was discovered at a nearby shopping center parking lot around 11 a.m. Friday, deputies said. No one realized they were missing until 3:30 Friday afternoon.
"Knowing the inmate, I think [Officer White] is in danger whatever the circumstances," Lauderdale County Sheriff Rick Singleton said at a press conference Friday night. "He was in jail for capital murder. He has nothing to lose."
RELATED: Convicted murderer on the run in Alabama after escaping work detail
White, 38, was charged with two counts of murder in September 2020 for the stabbing death of 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway, according to the Marshals Service. He was already serving time for a 2015 conviction that involved a home invasion, car jacking and police chase.
White reportedly confessed to killing Ridgeway and was awaiting trial when he disappeared.
"Casey White is believed to be a serious threat to the corrections officer and the public," U.S. Marshal Marty Keely said in a news release."
Anyone with information on Casey White’s location or Vicky White’s disappearance is asked to contact local law enforcement, or call the USMS Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102. Anonymous tips can also be submitted on the U.S. Marshals Tip App.
"Do not attempt to apprehend this fugitive," Keeley said.
White’s escape is still under investigation.

BEIJING (AP) — A woman was rescued Sunday from the rubble of a building in central China more than 50 hours after it collapsed, leaving dozens trapped or missing, state media said.
Separately, police arrested nine people including the building owner on suspicion of causing a major liability accident, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
State broadcaster CCTV showed video of rescuers bringing the woman out on a stretcher about 4:30 p.m. Some could be heard shouting words of encouragement during the operation. She was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition, CCTV said.
She was the sixth person rescued from the building, which collapsed Friday afternoon in the inland city of Changsha, the capital of Hunan province. About 20 others remained trapped, and another 39 had not been accounted for as of late Saturday.
Besides the owner, police said they had arrested three people in charge of design and construction and five others for what they said was a false safety assessment for a guest house on the building’s fourth to sixth floors.
In photos the building appeared to have pancaked down to about the second floor, leaving rubble strewn on the sidewalk. It had stood in a row of buildings about six stories tall.
Xinhua said the building had eight floors, including a restaurant on the second floor, a cafe on the third floor and residences on the top two floors. Other media reports said it was a six-story building. Tenants had made structural modifications to the building, but the cause of the collapse remained under investigation, Xinhua said.
Police said the Hunan Xiangda Engineering Testing Co. issued the false safety report on April 13. The arrested included the legal representative of the company and four technicians suspected of providing the assessment.
Following an increase in the number of collapses of self-built buildings in recent years, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Saturday that it was necessary to check such structures for any hidden dangers and fix them to prevent major accidents, Xinhua said.
Poor adherence to safety standards, including the illegal addition of extra floors and failure to use reinforcing iron bars, is often blamed for such disasters. | https://cw33.com/news/ap-top-headlines/police-arrest-9-after-building-collapses-in-central-china/ | 2022-05-01T20:33:00Z | https://cw33.com/news/ap-top-headlines/police-arrest-9-after-building-collapses-in-central-china/ | false |
White House correspondents’ dinner returns after two-year hiatus
WASHINGTON (AP) - In a return to some normalcy, journalists, government officials and celebrities paraded down the red carpet Saturday night at the annual White House press corps gala even as the threat of COVID-19 loomed over the massive hotel ballroom.
The White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, which the pandemic sidelined in 2020 and 2021, returned with Joe Biden as the first president in six years to accept an invitation. Donald Trump shunned the event while in office.
Comedy was also back with "The Daily Show" host Trevor Noah as the headliner. Celebrities were reappearing as well: Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson walked the carpet as did Brooke Shields and Caitlyn Jenner. The event drew a large swath of government officials and other prominent figures.
RELATED: COVID spreads through Congress, at least 7 test positive
Biden will be facing more than 2,600 attendees while he tries to strike a careful balance at a pivotal moment for the country. His administration is looking to turn the page on the pandemic even as the virus remains a threat nationally and close to home. Vice President Kamala Harris tested positive this week and Dr. Anthony Fauci skipped the dinner for health precautions.
After the recent Gridiron Club press dinner in Washington, dozens of attendees, including members of Congress and of Biden’s Cabinet and journalists, tested positive for COVID-19.
That raised questions about whether the 79-year-old Biden should attend Saturday’s dinner. The president planned to pass up the meal but turn up later for the program. He also planned to be masked when not speaking.
The White House has stressed the abundance of the antiviral pill Paxlovid, which has been shown to reduce by 90% severe outcomes from the virus among those at highest risk.
Still, press secretary Jen Psaki has said of Biden, "We want to be very clear that it is possible he could test positive for COVID, just like any American."
The White House Correspondents’ Association said it was requiring same-day antigen testing for its dinner attendees even before the Gridiron outbreak. It then added a vaccination requirement.
The U.S. is experiencing a COVID-19 case spike from a highly contagious subvariant of omicron, with confirmed infections rising to about 44,000 per day, up from 26,000 a month ago.
Despite the latest wave of COVID-19 cases, virus deaths and hospitalizations are near, or at, pandemic lows, with the BA.2 variant proving less severe than earlier virus strains. Just over 300 people are dying in the U.S. each day from the virus, down from more than 2,600 daily earlier this year — with about 1,600 hospitalizations per day, declining from a peak of more than 21,000 daily in January.
Psaki said Biden’s decision to attend "does stand in stark contrast to his predecessor, who not only questioned the legitimacy of the press on a nearly daily basis, but also never attended the dinner." Trump, who at times branded the media "the enemy of the people," had gleefully boycotted the event as president.
In addition to the looming threat of the virus, Biden planned to take the mic as a massive and deadly invasion of Ukraine continued to unfold at the hands of Russian forces.
Biden mentioned the dinner during a speech this past week about Russia’s war on Ukraine, saying, "I’ve always had respect for the press, but I can’t tell you how much respect I have watching them in these zones where they’re under fire."
"Imagine if we weren’t getting that information," the president added. "It would be a different world."
The correspondents’ dinner debuted in 1921. Three years later, Calvin Coolidge became the first president to attend and all have since, except Trump. Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon opted not to attend every year of their presidencies, however, and Ronald Reagan, then recovering from an assassination attempt, missed the 1981 installment — but called in from Camp David.
"The thing I think this shows is the restoration to the health of the relationship," said Harold Holzer, author of the book "The Presidents vs. The Press" and the director of the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College in New York. "It’s still barbed, there are still tense moments. But that’s OK."
After comedian Michelle Wolf’s sharp satire sparked controversy in 2018, the event the following year featured historian Ron Chernow. The return of celebrities this time recalls President Barack Obama’s administration, when the likes of George Clooney, Charlize Theron and Viola Davis attended.
As vice president in 2014, Biden appeared in a comedy video with the star of HBO’s "Veep," Julia Louis-Dreyfus, which drew big laughs at the correspondents’ dinner. The White House director of speech writing, Vinay Reddy, and longtime Biden adviser Mike Donilon worked on Biden’s remarks for this year, the White House said, tapping material from a variety of people both inside and outside government.
Psaki already acknowledged trying to lower expectations, saying the speech was"not funny at all. Just kidding." Presidential attempts at humor can be tricky, though.
At the 2011 dinner, Obama skewered an unamused Trump — in his presence — over Trump’s fictitious claims about the then-president’s birth certificate. Obama concluded by musing about Trump taking his job one day, saying, "He certainly would bring some change to the White House" as banquet hall screens flashed a parody image of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue’s grand façade fitted with a Trump logo, golden columns, a digital clock and a sign proclaiming "Hotel, Casino, Golf Course, Presidential Suite."
That turned out to be prophetic, since Trump of course succeeded Obama — though the overhauls he eventually brought to the presidency stopped short of affixing his name to the White House.

IMG-007 is highly potent at blocking the binding of OX40 to OX40L, thereby reducing OX40L-dependent downstream signaling and cytokine release by T cells. It has the potential to treat OX40+ T cell-mediated immune diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD).
The planned Phase 1 study is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled dose-escalation study in healthy adult subjects and AD patients. The study will be used to explore IMG-007's safety and tolerability in healthy subjects, and its efficacy and safety in AD patients.
In Australia, this Phase 1 study has also received the approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) and the acknowledgement of clinical trial repository from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
"Research data has given us the confidence that IMG-007 is one of the strongest OX40 drug candidates worldwide," said Dr. Jonathan Wang, Chairman and CEO of Inmagene. "Inmagene is taking many innovative drug candidates like IMG-007 from discovery or candidate stage to global clinical studies."
Dr. Jean-Louis Saillot, Inmagene's Chief Development Officer, said, "The antagonism of the OX40/OX40L interaction by monoclonal antibodies has been shown to be successful in phase 2 clinical trials, which highlights the importance of targeting this axis as a promising approach for the treatment of immune disorders, including AD. IMG-007 has demonstrated a best-in-class potential in preclinical studies. We look forward to the initiation of the IMG-007 clinical program with the hope of developing an innovative, safe and effective treatment option for patients with AD and other immunological diseases."
About IMG-007
IMG-007 is a novel antagonistic monoclonal antibody targeting the OX40 receptor. It was originally discovered by HUTCHMED, with Inmagene assuming development responsibility at the candidate stage. Inmagene has an exclusive option to license IMG-007's global rights.
OX40 is a costimulatory receptor member of the NGFR/TNFR superfamily expressed predominantly on activated T cells. Ligation of OX40 by its ligand OX40L leads to enhanced T cell survival, proliferation, and effector functions. Preclinical research results show that IMG-007 can bind to human OX40 receptor with high affinity, thereby efficiently blocking the binding of OX40 to OX40L. This blockade can effectively reduce the OX40L-dependent downstream signaling and cytokine release by T cells. By selectively shutting down OX40+ T cell function, IMG-007 may potentially provide treatment option for pathological OX40+ T cell-mediated immune diseases, such as atopic dermatitis.
About Inmagene
Inmagene is a global clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel therapeutics for immunology-related diseases. The company is building a robust development pipeline of 19 drug candidates.
Inmagene pipeline's most advanced compound is IMG-020, or izokibep. It has multiple global phase II studies ongoing for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, uveitis, etc. IMG-020 has also received IND approval from CDE for phase III in plaque psoriasis. In addition, IMG-004 and IMG-007 are initiating phase I studies globally in the next few months.

(NEXSTAR) – While driving deaths went down in 2020 – which makes sense considering we were stuck at home for much of the year – there was one category of dangerous driving that actually rose: distracted driving.
Even though people were driving less, an analysis by MoneyGeek found a 12% increase in fatalities attributed to distracted driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 3,142 people were killed in crashes caused by distracted driving in 2020.
The NHTSA defines distracted driving as “any activity that diverts attention” while behind the wheel. That includes eating, talking and messing with your GPS. But the organization says texting and driving is the most “alarming” form of distracted driving because it takes your eyes off the road for several seconds at a time.
“Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for five seconds. At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed,” explains the NHTSA.
MoneyGeek analyzed NHTSA’s data on distracted driving to find out which states have the biggest problem with it. They also looked at highway usage data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics to determine how much distracted driving is happening per mile driven so that the biggest states don’t just end up in all the top spots.
MoneyGeek found these states had the highest distracted driving fatality rates:
- New Mexico
- Lousiana
- Kansas
- Kentucky
- Hawaii
- Washington
- Wyoming
- Illinois
- New Jersey
- Idaho
- Virginia
- Oklahoma
- Texas
- Florida
- Arizona
The best places for distracted driving, with the fewest related fatalities, were:
- Rhode Island
- Mississippi
- Washington, D.C.
- Nevada
- Connecticut
- California
- Georgia
- West Virginia
- South Dakota
- Utah
- Wisconsin
- Indiana
- Minnesota
- Iowa
- Massachusetts
Rhode Island, which tops the list of best states, saw just four deaths related to distracted driving in 2020. Meanwhile, New Mexico saw 276 related deaths.

DURHAM, N.C. (WNCN) – One person died in a crash after a car flew off an overpass and onto Interstate 40 in North Carolina Friday, Durham police said.
The wreck happened when the driver of a 2017 Tesla collided with the rear bumper of another car, police said.
“After the initial impact, the Tesla left the roadway to the right, struck a guardrail, two traffic signs and a telephone pole before going airborne off the embankment above Interstate 40 east,” the news release said.
The car flipped as it went off the overpass and landed across all three lanes of I-40, police said.
The wreck was reported just before 4:15 p.m. along eastbound I-40 at the U.S. 15/501 overpass, which is also Durham Chapel Hill Boulevard, according to a Saturday night news release from Durham police. The crash closed the interstate for nearly four hours Friday afternoon.
Zack A. Wojenski, 45, of Apex, who was driving the Tesla, died at the scene, the news release said.
The driver of the other car was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. The highway reopened around 8 p.m. Friday. No cars were hit on I-40, police said.
No charges have been filed in the crash, which is still under investigation. | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/driver-dies-after-tesla-goes-airborne-flips-over-police-say/ | 2022-05-01T21:19:25Z | https://www.wane.com/news/national-world/driver-dies-after-tesla-goes-airborne-flips-over-police-say/ | false |

Mikel Arteta praises Arsenal for 'winning ugly' after narrowly seeing off West Ham in London derby to move back into the top four - and the Gunners boss is now targeting rivals Chelsea in THIRD place
- Arsenal held on at the London Stadium to defeat West Ham United 2-1
- Victory sees them move back into a Champions League spot ahead of Tottenham
- But boss Mikel Arteta believes team now have opportunity to challenge Chelsea
Mikel Arteta hailed his Arsenal players for 'winning ugly' at West Ham, saying they're handling the pressure and want to steal third in the Premier League from Chelsea.
Defender Gabriel's headed winner at the London Stadium moved Arsenal up to fourth in the Premier League, two points above rivals Tottenham who beat Leicester earlier in the day.
'Massive win,' said Arteta, borrowing the favourite word of West Ham fans. 'The team showed huge character. Not to give up. To continue trying to do the right things. The way they fought, the way they understood how to manage the game in certain moments. It was phenomenal.
Mikel Arteta has challenged his side to now target a third place finish in the Premier League
Arsenal moved back into the top four following a 2-1 victory over West Ham United on Sunday
'In England you say you "win ugly"? From my point of view, we won ugly. But I'm extremely happy to see a team that has this capacity to find a way to win and show the character they showed.'
Asked if this is now a race for third rather than just fourth, Arteta said: 'Mathematically, everything is open.
'We're going to have to go to Leeds and win again because everybody is going to put on pressure. We have to handle that. We have a great opportunity.'
Keeper Aaron Ramsdale is also hopeful that the Gunners can now take the battle to Chelsea
Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale insisted afterwards he did not know that Tottenham had beaten Leicester, but he likewise said Arsenal can finish third above Chelsea.
It was two set-pieces that undid West Ham and this defeat left them seventh. If David Moyes's men are to make it into the Champions League, they will need to win the Europa League, the semi-final of which they trail 2-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of Thursday's second leg.
'I thought we did a good job on them,' Moyes said. 'We kept Arsenal quiet. What we didn't do a good job on was set pieces, which we're normally very good at.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10773175/Arsenal-Mikel-Arteta-praises-Arsenal-winning-ugly-narrowly-seeing-West-Ham.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-01T21:43:32Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10773175/Arsenal-Mikel-Arteta-praises-Arsenal-winning-ugly-narrowly-seeing-West-Ham.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
'The main thing is, we're safe': Love Island's Liberty Poole and Kaz Kamwi break silence after terrifying incident which saw them 'held at knifepoint' in Los Angeles
Love Island's Liberty Poole and Kaz Kamwi have spoken out after they were both threatened and held at knifepoint during their Los Angeles holiday this week.
The reality TV stars were left terrified when a 40-year-old woman targeted them as they headed to a party on Thursday night, prompting two men to jump to their defence and apprehend the attacker while passersby called the police.
And the television personalities took to Liberty's Instagram Stories on Sunday to thank their followers for their kind words of support, with Kaz, 27, saying: 'We just wanted to jump on really quickly and say thank you for all the messages we have received.

Ukraine war: 'Children in Mariupol drank rainwater from puddles'
By Jayne Morgan
BBC Wales Investigates
- Published
Hearing how her best friend's children were drinking rainwater from puddles to survive the war in Ukraine is why Nataliia Roberts wants her in the UK.
Yuliia and her three daughters used to run out of their basement shelter in the besieged city of Mariupol after it'd rained as they were so thirsty.
It wasn't just the basics of water and food, there was no toilet, shower or electricity in their refuge from bombs.
Nataliia now wants her childhood friend with her in the sanctuary of Wales.
"We had a small bowl [of soup] for three kids once per day," explained Yuliia. "And one glass of water for three kids to clean themselves."
After her home was destroyed by Russian bombs, Yuliia and her daughters - aged 11, six and three - had to find sanctuary in a communal basement which offered some shelter but she barely had any food to feed the children.
"The kids were asking for food so much, that's why she tried to feed them at bed time, so they felt full before bed," said worried friend Nataliia, watching on from her home in north Wales.
"When it started to rain first of all they were able to drink from the puddle and that water was so, so, tasty. Then they found some pans to fill with water."
Yuliia eventually had to leave her children hiding as she went to look for fresh water.
"There was a well three kilometres [two miles] away. I had to run there under gunfire, under bombs," Yuliia recalls in a video diary for the BBC Wales Investigates programme.
And when her middle daughter became unwell, there were no medicines.
"I had money but I couldn't buy anything because there was nothing anywhere, everything was broken, everything was looted and destroyed," she said.
Yuliia and Nataliia, who moved from Ukraine to Wales to be with her husband Dewi five years ago, have been close friends since school and had always kept in touch - until war broke out in Ukraine in February.
For days, sometimes weeks, it wasn't safe for Yuliia to text or call her friend 2,000 miles away.
Nataliia had to make do with Yuliia's intermittent video diary updates from her underground bunker with her girls while her husband fought the Russians on the front line.
The 32-year-old accountant has managed to get her mum and stepdad out of eastern Ukraine when the situation began to escalate and Ludmylia and Sasha now live with Nataliia, husband Dewi, four-year-old Julia and Jacob, one, in the safety of Caernarfon.
Now Nataliia can't just look on as her friend struggles and is doing everything she can to help Yuliia and her young family become Ukrainian refugees in Wales.
Yuliia and her girls are among 11 million Ukrainians forced to flee their homes before they eventually escaped Mariupol, under fire - weeks before the start of the United Nations-led evacuation from the strategically significant city.
The port city of Mariupol, which has been encircled since the start of March, is now mostly under the control of Russian forces - although several hundred Ukrainian troops remain in the Azovstal metal works factory in the south of the city.
Russian forces have blockaded the sprawling industrial complex and are continuing their aerial bombardment of it, but no attempt has been made yet to clear Ukrainian troops from a network of tunnels beneath the factory.
Russia has been accused of war crimes for its intense shelling of the city, with the local mayor saying at least 20,000 civilians have been killed. More than 100,000 people remain trapped in the city.
By train and then minibus, they headed for Poland, not knowing when they'd see her husband again, or whether they'd be able to join Nataliia and her family in Wales.
But it is the sights of war that are leaving their mark on Yulia.
"She did see dead people in Mariupol, the ones who were killed by rockets who had no hands, no legs, whose bodies were destroyed," said Nataliia.
"I would love to have Yuliia here in Wales. I was dreaming that one day we will have a cup of tea in our dining room altogether and they can see our life here and have a more happy life. I just would love it."
About 27,000 Ukrainian refugees - out of the 86,000 approved visas - are in the UK and Wales has said it wants to be a "nation of sanctuary" for those fleeing the horrors of war in their home-land.
About 10,000 Welsh households had offered homes to Ukrainian refugees but by the end of last month, the Home Office had issued 2,300 visas for those wanting to come to Wales.
The Welsh government has sponsored nearly 700 visa applications so far, but couldn't tell BBC Wales Investigates how many refugees had arrived in Wales, insisting it has asked the UK government for the data but been told it's unavailable.
The Home Office said it is working "as fast as it can" to provide the information for the devolved governments, adding more than 86,000 visas have been granted under various schemes and is simplifying forms and boosting staff numbers to speed up applications.

Kerr's WSL record bid ends in Chelsea win
Only the crossbar has prevented Sam Kerr from improving her remarkable goalscoring sequence in the Women's Super League.
But despite missing out on the chance of hitting the target for an eighth league match in a row, the Matildas captain was still all smiles on Sunday after her Chelsea side eked out a critical 1-0 win at Birmingham.
Kerr had been in line to match the record of nine consecutive scoring matches, set by her Chelsea teammate Beth England, if she'd netted in the last two games of the season.
But though she earned a rare blank after crashing an early shot against the woodwork, Chelsea's nervy but hard-earned victory was the only thing that mattered to Kerr as they moved four points clear and on the verge of successfully defending their title.
The champions have just one match left, a tough one at home to third-placed Manchester United next Sunday, and will make it three titles in a row should they emerge victorious.
But any slip up would still let in Chelsea's London rivals Arsenal, who, with Kerr's Matilda colleagues Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley and Lydia Williams in their ranks, could then still take the title with two more wins.
Before Chelsea's match, Arsenal had beaten Aston Villa 7-0, featuring a couple of goals from Kerr's Dutch Golden Boot rival Vivianne Miedema, to put the pressure on the Blues.
It looked as if it would be no problem for Chelsea as they started brightly and Kerr swivelled brilliantly to strike a fierce left-footed shot against the bar.
But they got bogged down as it began to teem with rain, looked short on ideas and created painfully few opportunities.
Kerr had scored nine times in her previous seven WSL games but, uncharacteristically, rushed her best chance in 65th minute and looked irritated to screw her shot wide.
Six minutes later, though, the visitors got lucky when awarded a penalty after Birmingham defender Lisa Robertson handled a cross with her back to goal, allowing Dane Pernille Harder to convert coolly from the spot.
Even then, Birmingham came close to an equaliser in the dying minutes, with goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger thwarting Emily Whelan.
Kerr came off five minutes from time, offering a smile as she accepted that her chance of the record was gone.
But her team can claim the title on Wednesday if Arsenal lose to local rivals Tottenham.
Still, the likelihood is for the title race to go down to the final Sunday with the Gunners at West Ham. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10773219/Kerrs-WSL-record-bid-ends-Chelsea-win.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-01T22:00:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-10773219/Kerrs-WSL-record-bid-ends-Chelsea-win.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
The Country Music Hall of Fame will induct Ray Charles and The Judds into its ranks on Sunday night, though the death of Naomi Judd a day earlier will undoubtedly alter the normally celebratory ceremony.
The hall said late Saturday that it would continue with the ceremony at the request of Judd's family, but with “heavy hearts and weighted minds,” according to CEO Kyle Young.
Mother-daughter act Naomi and Wynonna Judd were among the most popular duos of the 1980s, scoring 14 No. 1 hits during their nearly three-decade career.
Inductees are usually honored with speeches, performances of their songs and the unveiling of a plaque that will hang in the Hall of Fame's rotunda. However, a planned public red carpet prior to the ceremony was canceled.
Charles' induction will showcase his genre-defying country releases, which showed the genre's commercial appeal. The Georgia-born singer and piano player grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry and in 1962 released “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music,” which became one of the best selling country releases of his era.
More Naomi Judd Coverage
Charles' version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” spent five weeks on top of the Billboard 100 chart and remains one of his most popular songs. He died in 2004.
Much of the attention Sunday will likely be on Naomi Judd, who died unexpectedly on Saturday near Nashville.
“We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness,” daughters Wynonna and Ashley said in a statement to The Associated Press announcing her death. “We are shattered. We are navigating profound grief and know that as we loved her, she was loved by her public.”
In a March interview, Wynonna Judd told the AP: “Music is the bridge between mom and me, and it it bonds us together. Even in the not easy times.”
In choosing to go forward with Sunday's ceremony, the Country Hall of Fame noted Naomi Judd's remarkable life.
“Naomi overcame incredible adversity on her way to a significant place in music history. Her triumphant life story overshadows today’s tragic news,” CEO Kyle Young said in a statement.
The Hall of Fame will also honor two recordings musicians: Eddie Bayers and Pete Drake.
Bayers, a drummer in Nashville for decades who worked on 300 platinum records, is a member of the Grand Ole Opry band. He regularly played on records for The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, George Strait, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney. He is the first drummer to join the institution.
Drake, who died in 1988, was a pedal steel guitar player and a member of Nashville’s A-team of skilled session musicians, played on hits like “Stand By Your Man” by Tammy Wynette and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones. He is the first pedal steel guitar player to become part of the Hall of Fame. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/country-music-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony-to-proceed-at-the-request-of-judds-family/3670730/ | 2022-05-01T22:02:25Z | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/entertainment-news/country-music-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony-to-proceed-at-the-request-of-judds-family/3670730/ | false |

Jets storm back to beat Kraken in season finale
Kyle Connor capped a three-goal, third-period rally with the game-winner as the host Winnipeg Jets defeated the expansion Seattle Kraken 4-3 Sunday afternoon.
The game, a makeup of an April 13 contest postponed by a snowstorm, was the finale of the NHL's regular season.
Morgan Barron, Blake Wheeler and Dominic Toninato also scored for the Jets (39-32-11, 89 points) who, despite missing the playoffs for the first time in five years, finished with a four-game winning streak. Jansen Harkins collected two assists and goaltender Eric Comrie made 27 saves.
Alex Wennberg, Daniel Sprong and Riley Sheahan scored for the Kraken (27-49-6, 60 points), who blew a two-goal lead for the fourth time in their past six games. Chris Driedger stopped 23 of 27 shots.
Trailing 3-1 entering the third, the Jets scored thrice in a span of 4:16.
Wheeler pulled the Jets within a goal at 4:49 on a one-timer from the top of the right circle after a faceoff win by Paul Stastny.
Toninato tied it at 7:16, also on a one-timer from the top of the right circle, after a cross-ice pass from Harkins.
The Jets got the winner at 9:05 as Pierre-Luc Dubois dug the puck out of the left-wing corner and found Connor in the slot. He beat Driedger with a quick shot between the pads.
The Jets opened the scoring at 3:47 of the first period. Barron intercepted a pass by Seattle rookie Matty Beniers just inside the defensive blue line and passed ahead to Harkins to start a two-on one rush. Barron took a return pass and lifted a shot over Driedger's shoulder.
The Kraken tied it at 5:56 of the second period on the power play. Beniers controlled the puck along the right-wing boards and sent a cross-ice pass to Jared McCann, who slid the puck back across the crease to Wennberg at the right post for an easy tap-in.
Sprong gave the Kraken a 2-1 lead at 12:24. Derrick Pouliot's pass from the left point found Sprong skating down the slot alone, and he lifted the puck over Comrie.
The Kraken extended the lead to 3-1 just 55 seconds later. Wennberg drove the puck down the left wing and centered a pass that went off a defenseman's stick and to Sheahan near the right post for a one-timer.

DELANO, Calif. (AP) — The death of a 50-year-old inmate at a Southern California prison is being investigated as a homicide, authorities said Sunday.
Alfredo Valenzuela was found unresponsive Saturday in his cell at Kern Valley State Prison, the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said in a statement. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
Valenzuela's cellmate, 36-year-old Noe Herrera, was moved to the prison's Administrative Segregation Unit pending investigation, the statement said.
The Kern County Coroner’s Office will determine Valenzuela's official cause of death.
Valenzuela entered Kern Valley prison in 2010 on a life-without-parole sentence after being convicted of murder and other charges.
Herrera, also convicted of murder, was sentenced to life without parole in 2019.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Two people were taken to a hospital after a second-floor balcony collapsed and sent roughly a dozen people falling 15 feet to the ground during a annual block party in Madison that attracted thousands of college students.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports that city officials said the balcony collapsed because of rotting wood, but Alder Mike Verveer said inspectors didn't spot the rotted wood during a recent inspection because metal panels were wrapped around the wood.
Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes said between 10 and 20 people were on the balcony when it collapsed Saturday morning during the Mifflin Street Block Party. He said three people were injured, including the two that were sent to the hospital, but none of the injuries were considered life threatening.
Verveer said building inspectors checked every porch and balcony in aging buildings in the neighborhood earlier in April in preparation for the event that attracted more than 10,000 people Saturday. He said it's fortunate there weren't serious injuries as a result of the collapse.
Madison police ticketed 45 people during the event, including one who was taken to jail. Police spokeswoman Stephanie Fryer didn’t specify what all the tickets were for but she said the most common violations were underage drinking and disorderly conduct. Two officers reported minor injuries. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Three-hurt-when-balcony-collapses-at-Wisconsin-17140345.php | 2022-05-01T22:07:23Z | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Three-hurt-when-balcony-collapses-at-Wisconsin-17140345.php | true |

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Kyle Connor scored his 47th goal of the season at 9:05 of the third period to rally the Winnipeg Jets to a season-ending 4-3 win over the Seattle Kraken on Sunday.
Morgan Barron, Blake Wheeler and Dominic Toninato also scored for Winnipeg (39-32-11), which missed the playoffs but finished the season with a perfect four-game homestand. Eric Comrie made 27 saves.
Alex Wennberg had a goal and an assist for Seattle (27-49-6), and Daniel Sprong and Riley Sheahan also scored. Chris Driedger stopped 23 shots.
The game was rescheduled following a storm in Winnipeg last month. It was the only one on the schedule and came two days after the rest of the league wrapped up the regular season.
Winnipeg led 1-0 after the first but Seattle went ahead 3-1 entering the third.
Wenneberg began the Kraken's scoring with his 11th of the season 22 seconds into a power play at 5:55 of the second.
Sprong made it 2-1 at 12:24 with a shot that beat Comrie to the glove side. Sheahan’s goal followed 55 seconds later for a two-goal lead.
Winnipeg then broke through with three goals early in the third.
Jets center Paul Stastny recorded his 800th career point when he won a faceoff and got the puck back to Wheeler, who sent a one-timer past Driedger at 4:49. It marked the fourth straight game that Wheeler had scored.
Toninato tied it 3-3 at 7:16, with Barron earning an assist.
Connor then got the go-ahead goal less than two minutes later.
Barron scored his second goal of the season 3:47 into the game to give the Jets the 1-0 lead. | https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Connor-scores-47th-Jets-rally-for-4-3-win-over-17140363.php | 2022-05-01T22:08:06Z | https://www.sfgate.com/sports/article/Connor-scores-47th-Jets-rally-for-4-3-win-over-17140363.php | false |

WEST HARTFORD — Police identified the man who was arrested Saturday night after he attempted to flee the scene of a disturbance as a 30-year-old town resident.
Joseph Yankus, of 5 Robin Road, was charged with first-degree threatening, first-degree reckless engagement, second-degree breach of peace and interfering with an officer, according to Sgt. Amanda Martin, a West Hartford Police Department spokesperson.
Yankus was taken into custody around 7:30 p.m. Saturday after officers responded to a minor disturbance on Dover Road.
Police said Yankus fled the area after the incident but was quickly located by officers on Robin Road. Police also recovered a firearm at his residence.
Officials described the disturbance, which forced investigators to shut down multiple roadways, as an isolated incident. The investigation is ongoing.
Police ask that anyone with information about the incident contact West Hartford police at the main number, 860-523-5203, the anonymous tip line at 860-570-8969 or at the confidential email tip line: whpdtips@westhartfordct.gov.

Forensic Pathology Service – The death penalty and anatomic patholog… (more⇢1⚽)…..(FREE ADS)[FPA0046B] As the chief U.S. weapons investigator in Iraq, David Kay leads a team of 1,200 men and women who are searching for weapons of mass destruction. An interim report, released three months into the search, notes that no evidence of chemical, biological or nuclear arms has turned up.
The report was widely viewed as a blow to President Bush, who cited Saddam Hussein's hidden arsenal as a chief reason for going to war in Iraq. Kay tells NPR's Linda Wertheimer that three months is insufficient time to get to "the truth" of the matter. And he says the media seems to be "glossing over" significant details in the report -- including a commitment by North Korea to supply Iraq with prohibited weapons, and evidence of "more than two dozen" weapons laboratories that were previously undeclared to the United Nations.
Wertheimer notes that Kay said before the war that he believed Saddam was hiding weapons of mass destruction. Asked if he still believes that, Kay says he's confident that the process he's leading will establish the facts.
"I'm not trying to prove a case," he says. "I'm trying to find the truth."
Kay tells Wertheimer that another six to nine months would give his team time to deliver a thorough report.
"We're having to deal with all of the behavior of Saddam, " he says. "Security behavior, the aftermath of a war... the insurgency that's going on now. And searching under those conditions is very difficult."
Though Kay's official role is as an adviser to CIA Director George Tenet, he says he feels no pressure to prove a case for the Bush administration.
"If the team comes to the conclusion there's nothing there, it's not something I'm going to apologize for," he says.

Electrocution deaths | Revenue Secretary continues inquiry for second day
THANJAVUR May 01, 2022 19:34 IST‘Inquiry conducted with 12 residents of Kalimedu village and eight officials of various departments’
Revenue Secretary Kumar Jayant, who was appointed by the State government to probe into Kalimedu electrocution deaths, conducted inquiries with people of the village and eyewitnesses for the second consecutive day on Sunday.
Mr. Jayant spent over two hours at the accident site. Besides recording statements of the witnesses, he measured the length of the road and the distance between the road surface and the high tension power lines. He also checked the condition of the wire that was used to illuminate the chariot.
Several residents of the village, who took part in the chariot procession event on April 27, explained the circumstances that led to the electrocution, which claimed 11 lives. Mr. Jayant recorded the statements of Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco), health and other officials at the Collector Office. He also received petitions and suggestions from members of the public regarding the accident and the steps to be taken to prevent such tragedies in the future.
In an informal chat with journalists, the Revenue Secretary said he had so far conducted inquiry with 12 residents of Kalimedu village and eight officials of various departments. Field visits and inquiries with witnesses and those recuperating in the hospitals would bring more clarity to the incident. The statements of various persons had to be analysed to check for contradictions.
He said he would submit a report to the government after an in-depth study. It would contain recommendations to prevent such accidents in the future.
Mr. Jayant said people could continue to submit the documents or provide information about the incident at the Collector Office here. If needed, he would make more field visits. Later, he visited Uthirapathiswarar temple at Thiruchenkattankudi in Nagapattinam district and collected inputs on the death of P. Deeparajan, who was run over by a wheel of the chariot. He was attempting to place blocks on the wheels to check the chariot speed, when the accident occurred. | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Tiruchirapalli/electrocution-deaths-revenue-secretary-continues-inquiry-for-second-day/article65373030.ece/amp/ | 2022-05-01T22:54:42Z | https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Tiruchirapalli/electrocution-deaths-revenue-secretary-continues-inquiry-for-second-day/article65373030.ece/amp/ | true |

An elderly man suffering from a painful knee infection was forced to wait 48 hours in the emergency department of Wollongong Hospital.
Six weeks ago, 80-year-old Don Brown arrived at Wollongong Hospital with a swollen knee from an infected artificial knee joint.
He arrived around 3.30pm on Saturday and was triaged within two hours – but he would not receive a bed until almost twelve hours later.
“We were advised to continue waiting, which we did until approximately 1.30am,” his wife Jenny Brown told The Daily Telegraph.
“We were told that he needed to be admitted and a bed would be found as soon as possible.”
Mr Brown was placed in a bed in the corner of the emergency room around 3am.
“I was there by myself for four hours, unattended,” Don Brown told the newspaper.
“I was in a lot of pain, my knee was swollen and fully infected and I was there for a day without being seen.”
Mr Brown was woken up four hours later, told there were not enough beds and sent back to the waiting room.
“He became increasingly anxious, exhausted and distressed,” Mrs Brown said.
“So I took him out to a long bench where he could lie down on, outside of the ED.”
The Australian Medical Association is blaming a lack of government funding for being unable to meet increased demand.
“We have charted 30 years of a decline of the number of beds per head of population over the age of 65, this is a longstanding issue, but Covid has opened up the cracks,” AMA President Dr Omar Khorshid said.
After 36 hours, Mrs Brown insisted staff give her distraught husband a bed so he could lie down in comfort.
On Monday morning, a bed became available for Mr Brown.
“I looked down the hallway behind me and as far as you could see there were stretcher beds the ambulance people had brought in,” he said.
“It was said I broke a record. The doctors and nurses were doing their best, they are flat-strap and I felt sorry for the staff but the system is broken,” Mr Brown said.
The number of public hospital beds available to those over 65 has halved in the last three decades to 15 beds per 1000 people.
The AMA is calling on the federal Government to increase their hospital funding from the existing 45-55 split with the states to an even 50-50. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/distressed-man-80-endures-a-48-hour-wait-in-nsw-emergency-room-c-6645580 | 2022-05-01T23:30:33Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/distressed-man-80-endures-a-48-hour-wait-in-nsw-emergency-room-c-6645580 | false |
Alabama woman killed by dogs while investigating dog attack, owner arrested: sheriff
An Alabama woman was arrested Friday after a pack of dogs attacked and killed an employee of the state who was investigating a dog attack that occurred earlier in the week, authorities said.
The fatal attack happened when Jacqueline Summer Beard, an Alabama Department of Public Health employee, went to follow up on alleged incident involving dogs owned by Brandy Dowdy, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said. Dowdy’s dogs allegedly attacked a woman earlier last week.
Beard’s body was found earlier on Friday after deputies responded to calls of a suspicious vehicle on Crumpton Road outside of Red Bay.

When deputies arrived on Crumpton Road, the sheriff’s office said they witnessed several dogs start attacking residents, with one resident suffering minor injuries.
"Some of the dogs had to be euthanized immediately," the sheriff’s office said.
Investigators determined Beard was killed by the same "dangerous" pack of dogs that she was investigating as she attempted to contact the dogs’ owner, authorities said.
Dowdy was charged with manslaughter and dangerous dog law.

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida woman was arrested after she got into a shootout with deputies at a Florida McDonald’s Saturday night, the sheriff’s office said.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office released a statement saying that deputies were sent to the McDonald’s in Orlando at 10:35 p.m. for an armed robbery call.
Deputies said a woman in her 30s made threats and fired a gun inside the restaurant, but the customers and employees managed to get out unharmed.
When three deputies arrived at the scene, the woman fired at them from inside the store, according to the sheriff’s office. Three deputies returned fire, but no one was hurt in the exchange.
The standoff lasted for over six hours as deputies tried to negotiate a surrender. At around 4:45 a.m. Sunday, the woman left the restaurant and was taken into custody.
The sheriff’s office has not yet named the woman.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting and said it will report its evidence to the State Attorney’s Office. The sheriff’s office said it will begin its own internal investigation afterward.
The deputies in the incident were put on paid temporary administrative leave. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/florida-woman-gets-in-shootout-with-deputies-at-mcdonalds-sheriffs-office-says/ | 2022-05-01T23:45:41Z | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/florida-woman-gets-in-shootout-with-deputies-at-mcdonalds-sheriffs-office-says/ | false |
“Never before has the PLO flag waved over the Dome of the Rock for 10 days without a police response.”
By Lauren Marcus, World Israel News
A Palestinian flag has been hanging on the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, for at least 10 days, spurring questions about Israel’s sovereignty over the compound.
In 2000, a Palestinian flag was hoisted on the Temple Mount for a total of three days — the longest ever, until now — and was taken down by the Israeli authorities, just before the outbreak of the Second Intifada.
So, why hasn’t the Israeli government taken steps to remove the flag, considering that the Temple Mount is the holiest Jewish site and is under Israeli jurisdiction and located in Israel’s capital city?
Tom Nisani, CEO of the Temple Mount advocacy organization, said the lack of response stems from a policy of appeasement to terror, originating in the upper echelons of the Israeli government.
“Never before has the PLO flag waved over the Dome of the Rock for 10 days without a police response, [and this is] apparently due to orders from high up in the political establishment,” Nisani told World Israel News.
“When entering the Old City, the first eye-catching sight is the PLO flag hoisted above the Temple Mount. These are disturbing [optics] and signal that Israel has given up Jerusalem, and [the flag’s placement] could become permanent.”
Nisani added that the flag serves as a highly-visible “symbol of victory” for terrorists over Israel, as incitement against Jews and Israelis continues “at a frenzied pace.”
Maor Tzemach, CEO of the Zionist NGO Your Jerusalem, linked the flag’s presence to an overall policy of Israeli appeasement to Islamist terror on the Temple Mount.
Unfortunately, the Israeli government is not taking appropriate steps towards mitigating presence of terror supporters and widespread incitement in the compound, he told WIN.
Israel authorities seem to believe that a strong or forceful response will stoke the flames, but in reality, the lack of response is emboldening terrorists.
But the lack of response from Israel appears to embolden the terrorists, Tzemach observed.
“Even on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we heard chants like ‘Khybar, Khybar ya yahud’ [a reference to a mass slaughter of Jews in ancient Saudia Arabia], and calls for [Gaza-based Hamas terrorist] Mohammed Deif to fire rockets at Tel Aviv,” he said.
Allowing the display of the Palestinian flag, along with the flags of Hamas and other terror groups, and widespread calls to murder Jews to occur without an Israeli response “hurts our sovereignty, calls into question Israel’s authority on the Temple Mount, and that’s unacceptable.”
Speaking to Israel National News on Sunday, Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel said that while he was concerned about the presence of the flag on the Temple Mount, removing it wasn’t his primary focus.
“We fight terror, not flags,” he said. “There are much more serious occurrences of lack of governance and [loss of ] sovereignty in the Negev, the Galilee, and [on] the Temple Mount that must be addressed.” | https://worldisraelnews.com/10-days-and-counting-plo-flag-on-temple-mount-still-flying/ | 2022-05-01T23:46:58Z | https://worldisraelnews.com/10-days-and-counting-plo-flag-on-temple-mount-still-flying/ | true |

KENTWOOD, Mich. (WOOD) — When Richard Guichelaar strangled the life from his wife’s body, he thought he had silenced her voice forever. He was wrong.
Police records reveal it was Amber Guichelaar’s own words that helped expose her husband’s murderous rage.
Target 8 used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain investigative reports compiled by detectives from the Kentwood Police Department.
In his report, Detective Tim Dykgraaf wrote of the discovery police made while searching the 32-year-old wife and mother’s minivan one day after her death.
“In the center console I located loose leaf notebook papers, written in marker,” Dykgraaf wrote in his report, later noting that Amber Guichelaar’s parents confirmed her handwriting.

- KRQE En Español: Auto choca contra autobús escolar de Albuquerque con estudiantes adentro
“The papers appeared to have been there for a while and a liquid had been spilled on them so some of the writing was no longer legible,” the report continued. “However, they appeared to be notes that Amber had written about Richard, one of which said, ‘He isn’t someone I want around my children. He is dangerous’ and ‘I have literally thought to myself, “am I safe… asleep next to him? Would he ever kill me?'”
Amber Guichelaar went on to document the violence she had endured at the hands of her husband Richard Guichelaar, 39.
“On one of the pieces of paper,” wrote Dykgraaf in his report, “she listed off the following:
“-He has beaten me
-Kicked and punched (blotted) me
-Threw a mug (blotted words) big screen TV
-Smashed my cell phones
-Punched glass shower door
-Broken four doors
-Smashed counter w/ hammer
-Punched hole in the wall”
“MY WIFE ISN’T BREATHING”
At 3:29 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 16, 2020, a seemingly distraught Richard Guichelaar called 911 from the couple’s home on Andrew Street in Kentwood.
“My wife isn’t breathing,” he told a dispatcher, stumbling over his words amid panicked sobs. “She had, I think she, she, she had a, she had a, a, a sweatshirt around her neck, and she’s not breathing.”
When the dispatcher asked if he thought his wife was beyond help, he responded, “I do. She’s purple, and she’s not breathing.”
Later in the six-minute 911 call, the emergency dispatcher asked if there were any children in the home.
“Yes. No. My daughter’s right next to us. She’s right here,” Richard Guichelaar said.
“I need you to take her out of the room. OK?” the dispatcher instructed. “I need you to take … her out of the room and shut the door, OK?”
The Guichelaars’ 8-month-old daughter slept in a crib in their bedroom.
The couple had two children, the 8-month-old and a toddler, and Amber Guichelaar was newly pregnant with their third child.
Richard Guichelaar later told Kentwood police he had slept on a downstairs couch that night because the couple’s bedroom was too hot. He said he had been awakened in the middle of the night by their baby’s cries.
“Richard said he laid on the couch because he was waiting for Amber to get up and give (their daughter) her pacifier,” Detective Dykgraaf wrote. “Richard said, ‘I was waiting, waiting, waiting and waiting. Finally, I didn’t understand what was going on, so I got up to check on (their daughter) and uh, I saw Amber.'”
Richard Guichelaar claimed he thought his wife had accidentally strangled herself.
But Rachel Wustman, the assistant prosecutor on the case for Kent County, told News 8 the autopsy revealed Amber Guichelaar could not have caused her own strangulation.
“She died from asphyxiation, and it was caused by someone else,” Wustman told News 8 in a recent interview, noting the medical examiner documented some abrasions Amber Guichelaar did not have when she FaceTimed with her sister earlier that night.
Wustman added that Richard Guichelaar changed details of his story. None of the versions added up, according to family and friends.
Two of Amber Guichelaar’s close friends spoke with Dykgraaf on the phone 11 days after Amber Guichelaar’s death to share what they learned from a conversation with Richard Guichelaar.
“(She) said they asked (Richard) about what happened before they went to bed (the night Amber died) and she said that Richard told her, ‘I will admit, I was really mad it was taking (Amber) so long to wrap things up,'” wrote Dykgraf in his report, noting that he was referring to his wife locking up the house before bed.
“(She) said that Richard then told (her) that the bedroom was hot, and Richard said the thermostat was set to 78 degrees. (She) said she had has had ‘hundreds of sleepovers’ at Amber’s house and she said that they would never set the thermostat that night,” the report continued.
Amber Guichelaar’s sister, Brittany, lived with the couple at their home on Andrew Street in Kentwood, though she was gone the night Amber died.
In an interview with police, Brittany said Richard Guichelaar only slept downstairs when the couple argued and would not have awakened to the baby’s cries. Brittany explained the medications he takes for mental health issues knocked him out at night. The pills also reportedly made him angry, so he took them right before bed, and, if the girls awakened in the night, Amber Guichelaar made sure she jumped up to care for them.
Wustman, the assistant prosecutor, talked about the valuable information Amber Guichelaar’s friends and family provided.
“What he said made him finally wake up and get up was hearing the baby cry and, again, (Amber’s) sister said he never got up with the baby. That just wasn’t what he did,” Wustman explained to News 8.
Indeed, friends told police Richard Guichelaar did so little around the house that Amber Guichelaar basically had three children: the two girls and her husband. The imbalance of duties sometimes prompted fights, according to one of the close friends.
“(The friend) did not know of any physical violence between Richard and Amber. (She) stated that when she would hear about these fights it would be after the fact when Amber would mention it during conversation by saying things along the lines of Richard is doing better because he broke his Xbox,” Dykgraaf reported.
“(The friend) stated the most recent fight she could think of was during the initial COVID 19 outbreak when everything was locked down and everyone was quarantined in the house together. She stated she did not know what the fight was about, possibly Richard not helping with children, but Richard picked up the high-chair and broke it,” Dykgraaf wrote.
One thing Richard Guichelaar did do, despite his wife’s vehement protest, was watch pornography. The couple fought over the issue in text exchanges one week before the murder.
When Amber’s sister asked by text what she wanted for her birthday, she replied, “a new husband.”
Two days later, Amber Guichelaar was dead and police had a prime suspect in her husband.
“EVERYONE IS SAYING, ‘HE DID IT'”
“When we talked to detectives, they said, ‘You know, we’ve never had this situation before where everyone around these two is saying, ‘He did it,'” recalled Wustman.
In his interview with police, Richard Guichelaar’s father, George Guichelaar, told Dykgraaf there was a 98% chance his son was guilty.
Richard Guichelaar’s sister said her first thought upon learning her sister-in-law was dead was, “Richard did it,” and that he may have “flew into a rage and couldn’t gain control.”
“He is an angry person,” the sister told the detective, according to his report. “Yeah he has a whole other side to him and umm, for a few years there, we thought it was really good he was on good medication, and it was almost as if we could breathe a sigh of relief like maybe we’ve made it through the worst of it. Ummm, but he can get so angry. He’ll throw things, he’ll punch things, he’ll yeah, he… just rage, rage.'”
“(His sister) also added ‘he is able to spin things and be a master storyteller and to get people to believe what …. he wants (them) to believe,” Dykgraaf wrote.
Richard Guichelaar’s brother told police that as a child, he would threaten to burn the house down, kill his brother’s hamster by crushing it, cut his sister with a knife or leave her in a field to freeze to death. His parents said their son developed mental health issues as a young teen after suffering several concussions.
Both parents told Dykgraaf they were scared because Richard Guichelaar was staying with them while police investigated. They said they were “trying to be patient and trust the legal system, but they thought their son needed to be in prison,” Dykgraaf wrote in his report.
Still, despite Richard Guichelaar’s violent history, it seems no one considered he might kill his wife.
No one but Amber Guichelaar herself.
“AMBER WAS DEFINITELY A CHILD OF GOD”
A faithful Christian, Amber Guichelaar was three days shy of her 33rd birthday when she died.
“Amber definitely was a child of God,” said her mom, Amy DeGraaf, in an interview with Target 8. “(She) did her best to live and love like Jesus.”
At the time of her death, Amber Guichelaar was teaching English as a second language to middle schoolers in the Kentwood Public School District. It was a passion likely sparked when she first traveled to Guatemala on a church mission trip as a high schooler.
“Through her mission work and being in Guatemala, I think there was some frustration with the language barrier,” explained DeGraaf, who believes her daughter pursued her degree in Spanish so she could bridge that gap.

In a letter to News 8, Amber Guichelaar’s sister, Brittany said, she was “truly one of the greatest humans I have ever encountered.
“She was one of a kind, honestly. She was rooted in Jesus Christ and her actions and words proved that. Through her mission trips over the years, through her teaching years at South Christian and Crestwood Middle School. Through the way she loved her family, friends, and students. She loved very hard and would never let a day go by without you knowing how much she loved you. Her children were her everything.”
Amber Guichelaar met Richard Guichelaar when she taught Spanish at South Christian High School, where his father was principal.
“(Amber) was very fun,” her mom said. “She could always make you laugh. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She could turn a negative situation into something fun and something happy, and that joy was contagious.”
DeGraaf said her daughter put God first and her family second, especially her beloved daughters, who were ages 2 and a half and 8 months when their mom was stolen from them.
The girls are now being raised by Amber Guichelaar’s sister, Brittany, and her husband.
“Her children are her living legacy and they will grow to know how much their angel momma loved them and be raised on the Living Word of Christ,” Brittany wrote to Target 8.
Though Amber Guichelaar wrote notes documenting her husband’s abuse, it’s clear those papers were a secret dairy. She told no one about the physical assaults she was enduring.
Her sister told the detective that she knew the couple had a physical fight several years earlier but thought things had gotten better.
Her mom, who FaceTimed with her daughter multiple times a day during quarantine, said she had no idea the violence her daughter was enduring, nor the danger she faced.
“For some reason, she chose to stay in a situation that obviously cost her her life, and that is the mystery of Amber’s story and the unknown of Amber’s story but also of domestic violence and domestic abuse in itself. The mystery of why does someone choose to stay when it could cost them their life?” Amy DeGraaf said.
“The fact that she would go to the extent of writing those (notes) and that she was trying to deal with it all on her own, and shouldering that all on her own shoulders is just such a heartache for her Dad and I, for her brother and sister, for her friends… Sadness and just so many unknowns… and just the devastation of what domestic violence can lead to,” she said.
AMBER WAS A LOVING, CARING “FIXER”
The assistant prosecutor, Wurstman, said it’s common for domestic violence survivors to hide the abuse.
“I think the hard part is, Amber did a really good job of covering for him,” Wustman said. “Probably because of the kind of person she was. She was just so loving and caring and a ‘fixer’, and she always wanted him to be better and covered for him. So people only got to see, I think, little glimpses of the bad things about him and, unfortunately, I don’t think they realized how bad it was getting.”
While several of Amber Guichelaar’s close friends knew her husband had extreme mood swings and would sometimes break things in fits of anger, they told the detective they never saw him physically assault her.
“A lot of people knew that he did have mental illness and that he did take medication for that. But again, it seemed like Amber tried to get people to at least believe that the medication was working, that things were going well… What happens behind closed doors, people don’t necessarily see,” Wustman said.
The assistant prosecutor told Target 8 she doesn’t know why the violence turned deadly that night in November, nor whether Richard Guichelaar had planned to kill his wife. Because prosecutors could not prove premeditation, they charged him with second-degree murder instead of first, as well as intentionally assaulting a pregnant person.
Richard Guichelaar pleaded guilty Feb. 21 in a six-minute hearing before Kent County Circuit Court Judge Mark Trusock. He choked back tears as he acknowledged in open court that he intentionally strangled his wife and knew she was pregnant at the time.
Outside the courtroom the day of the plea, there was an incredible show of grace as Amy DeGraaf hugged Richard Guichelaar’s father, George Guichelaar.
“I am sorry, George,” DeGraaf said tearfully. “I don’t know why that happened. It’s senseless.”
George Guichelaar told Target 8, “We’re all just broken by this. We’re just broken.”
On Thursday, Richard Guichelaar was sentenced to the longest prison term allowed by guidelines — a minimum of about 33 years and a maximum 100.
The DeGraafs are determined to honor Amber, and God, by helping others.
Amber Guichelaar’s sister, Brittany, reminded those in abusive relationships — “whether that be physically, mentally, emotionally” — that there is help in the form of friends, family, church members and a number of professional organizations in West Michigan.
“…Reaching out and letting someone know may free you of the loneliness, shame, isolation, fear that you feel due to the abuse of your abuser,” Brittany wrote. “Relationships should be free of abuse! Do not let your abuser hurt you anymore. Know you are worthy and loved by so many.”
“That is our biggest hope,” Amy DeGraaf said. “That by speaking out and sharing Amber’s story, if someone is in a relationship like this, please know it could cost you your life and please, please seek help.” | https://www.krqe.com/news/weird/am-i-safe-sleeping-next-to-him-murder-victims-words-expose-husband/ | 2022-05-02T00:01:32Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/weird/am-i-safe-sleeping-next-to-him-murder-victims-words-expose-husband/ | false |

BOSTON (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo had his second career postseason triple-double, scoring 24 points with 13 rebounds and 12 assists on Sunday to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to a 101-89 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of their second-round playoff series.
Jrue Holiday had 25 points and 10 rebounds for the defending NBA champions, and Bobby Portis had 15 points and 11 boards to help the Bucks swipe the home-court advantage in the best-of-seven series.
Game 2 is Tuesday night in Boston.
Jayson Tatum scored 21 points and Jaylen Brown had 12, but the two Boston stars combined to shoot 10 for 31 in the game. Al Horford added 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Celtics.
After shutting down Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in a four-game sweep of the Brooklyn Nets, Boston couldn’t stop Antetokounmpo — even with Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart shaking off a shoulder injury.
The two-time NBA MVP scored eight straight Milwaukee points at the end of the first half to take a double-digit lead into the break. Boston was within seven in the final minute of the third quarter before going without a bucket for more than four minutes while the Bucks scored 11 of the next 14 points to open a 17-point lead.
Boston won 26 of its last 32 games in the regular season and was the only team to sweep its first-round playoff series. Milwaukee advanced by beating the Bulls in five games.
The Celtics led by as many as eight before Milwaukee scored the last 10 points of the first quarter. Antetokounmpo scored the last six of the half to give the Bucks a 56-46 lead at the break.
THAT SMARTS
Smart scurried off the floor with 1:12 left in the first half, in obvious pain with his right arm dangling limply beside him, after taking a swipe from Jevon Carter in the lane.
The team said during halftime that Smart had a shoulder “stinger” and a right quad bruise. He received a big cheer when he came out of the tunnel for the start of the second half, and finished with 10 points and six assists in 33 minutes.

By TIM REYNOLDS
AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI (AP) — In Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s mind, the injury situation with Joel Embiid doesn’t doom the Philadelphia 76ers.
He figures it’ll only steel their resolve.
Clearly, the 76ers are not going to be a better team without Embiid, the scoring champion and MVP finalist currently sidelined by a right orbital fracture and mild concussion, injuries that have him officially ruled out for Game 1 and likely Game 2 as well. That said, the 76ers played the Heat once this season without Embiid — and won. They’ll try to do it again Monday night when Philadelphia visits Miami in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series.
“Whenever you’re dealing with a team that has to change a little bit, that immediately gets them a built-in sense of urgency,” Spoelstra said. “But again, what we’re trying to accomplish, it is so difficult. When you approach it that way, that just puts you there to compete at a high level, the necessary level that is going to be required.”
The Heat aren’t exactly in perfect health, either. Jimmy Butler has been slowed by a sore knee, Tyler Herro caught a cold that turned into an upper-respiratory-type mess — but not COVID-19 — and PJ Tucker has been dealing with a calf issue. (All three expect to play Monday.) And Philadelphia native Kyle Lowry missed the last two games of the first-round series against Atlanta with a hamstring strain, so the Heat can’t be certain when their point guard will be 100% again. He’s been ruled out for Game 1.
“I think both rosters are going into this battle knowing that both sides got enough to get the job done,” Butler said. “We’ve got a job to do. They’ve got a job to do. But I’m banking on the Miami Heat.”
The 76ers don’t need any hyperbole along the way to realizing that they can have success against Miami. They need only to pop in the tape from March 21.
Embiid didn’t play that night. The 76ers didn’t have James Harden, either. Didn’t matter. Philadelphia outrebounded Miami 45-34, outscored the Heat 45-30 from 3-point range and pulled off a 113-106 win.
“Well, the biggest adjustment is we don’t have Joel,” 76ers coach Doc Rivers said, overstating the obvious for emphasis. “There’s no good thing to it. But we did have one game without Joel against them and honestly, we won the game but I thought it was more than they looked at we didn’t have Joel, I think James was out, so I think mentally that probably played a purpose in that game. That’s not going to happen now. They don’t care who we have on the floor.”
The 76ers went 6-8 without Embiid this season. Plus, with Harden, the 76ers still have a player who is four years removed from being an MVP and two years removed from being a back-to-back-to-back scoring champion.
“Truth be told, it’s just us figuring out what we can go to through the course of a game in the playoffs,” Philadelphia forward Tobias Harris said. “It’s always adapting and figure out how the other teams is playing, what they’re taking away, what they’re allowing, and for us to capitalize in that regard.”
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
Only six players (Tyrese Maxey, Isaiah Joe and Harris for the 76ers; Tucker, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus for the Heat) played in all four Philadelphia-Miami games this season. The 76ers’ defense was stellar, with Gabe Vincent (21.0 ppg in two games) the only Heat player to average more than 20. Team stats were incredibly close: Miami had slight edges in points (404-400) and assists (92-89), Philadelphia had the edge in rebounds (164-159). The 76ers shot 44.8%, Miami 44.6%.
TOP TWO
It’s a matchup of two of the all-time winningest playoff coaches. Rivers (102 wins) is fourth on the NBA postseason list behind Phil Jackson (229), Pat Riley (171) and Gregg Popovich (170). Spoelstra (89) is eighth behind the top four, then Larry Brown (100), Red Auerbach (99) and Jerry Sloan (98). Fun fact: if Miami wins Games 1 and 2 of this series then Spoelstra would pass Riley — the Heat president and his boss — in playoff winning percentage.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
This is the third Miami-Philadelphia playoff series. The other two were first-round matchups: Miami won in five games in 2011, Philadelphia won in five games in 2018. Each team has two players remaining on the roster from that series — Embiid and Furkan Korkmaz for the 76ers, Olympic gold medalist Bam Adebayo and Udonis Haslem for the Heat.
CONSISTENT HARDEN
Home, road, it doesn’t matter to Harden. His career splits are uncanny. For his career, he averages 24.9 points at home, 24.5 on the road. In home games, he’s shot 44% from the field, 36% from 3-point range and 86% from the foul line. And on the road, he has the same percentages. But he’s shot only 39% at Miami as a pro, his fourth-lowest road percentage behind Charlotte (37%), Boston (38%) and Indiana (38%).
FANDUEL SAYS
Embiid’s injury has sent Philadelphia down to the longest shot left in the playoffs, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The 76ers are the biggest underdog in any of the four conference semifinal series. As the East and West Final Fours were beginning Sunday, Miami was the second favorite (narrowly behind Boston) in the East and had the fourth-best odds for the NBA title behind Phoenix, Golden State and the Celtics.

WATCH the Madrid Open LIVE on beIN SPORTS | 2-week free trial
Four-time grand slam winner Osaka crashed to a resounding 6-3 6-1 loss to Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo, exiting her first tournament on clay since the 2021 French Open, where she withdrew citing mental health issues.
Osaka, who had posted an underwhelming 20-15 record on the surface prior to this week, looked uncomfortable throughout and appeared to struggle with a leg injury during a disappointing second set display.
The 24-year-old was not the only high profile player to be on the receiving end of a shock during a day of drama in the Spanish capital, as several of the competition's seeds failed to secure places in the last 16.
Another home favourite, Garbine Muguruza, fell to a resounding loss of her own as Anhelina Kalinina raced to a 6-3 6-0 victory over the seventh seed, while sixth seed Danielle Collins was thrashed 6-1 6-1 by Canadian Bianca Andreescu.
Fourth seed Maria Sakkari was the highest-ranked player in action, and although the world number five won the first set of her clash with Daria Kasatkina, the Greek eventually fell to a 3-6 6-3 6-1 loss, while 2021 US Open runner-up Leylah Fernandez went down 6-4 6-4 to Jil Teichmann.
One big name who did make comfortable progress, however, was Fernandez's US Open conqueror Raducanu, who eased to a 6-2 6-1 win over Kostyuk to set up a last-16 encounter with another Ukrainian in Kalinina.
The 19-year-old, who has been quoted as saying she believes clay could prove to be her best surface in the future, was delighted with her victory and enjoying the tournament after dropping just one game in the second set.
"I'm definitely happy with my performance," Raducanu said on court. "Marta's a great opponent - I knew it was going to be a really tough battle. I went out there trying to be really aggressive and it paid off.
"It's my first clay court season and I'm really enjoying it. Madrid is such a cool city and it's got such a great vibe about it. I definitely want to try and stay here for as long as possible." | https://www.beinsports.com/au/wta-tour/video/osaka-crashes-out-raducanu-cruises-in-madrid/1875069 | 2022-05-02T00:13:44Z | https://www.beinsports.com/au/wta-tour/video/osaka-crashes-out-raducanu-cruises-in-madrid/1875069 | false |

KANSAS CITY — Joey Gallo ran and tested his tight groin on Sunday morning and said he felt “good,” but the left fielder was not in the starting lineup for the series finale against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
“He’s kind of working through and getting treatment today,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “When he left last night, he felt pretty good. Right now he’s day to day and kind of see where he is as he kind of goes through treatment and getting loose and everything today.”
Gallo said that Monday would be a “good day to see,” if he could play, but was not sure when he would be back in the lineup.
After Sunday’s 6-4 win over the Royals, Boone said Gallo was still “tender.”
BACK TO 26
The Yankees sent right-hander Clarke Schmidt and infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar to Triple-A after Sunday’s game to get their roster back to 26. MLB had allowed teams to carry 28 players through April 30 to accommodate for the lockout-shortened spring training.
Schmidt, who pitched a scoreless inning and picked up his second win Sunday, said he was surprised to be the odd man out of the bullpen.
“Yeah, it’s a real tough pill to swallow. I mean, it’s just tough. There’s no easy way to put it. Especially like you said, I’ve been throwing well, I’ve been feeling well, I am comfortable, I’ve been doing my job getting guys out,” Schmidt said. “It’s just I guess it’s part of the game. It’s a business also. So hopefully they get me back up here soon. And it’s just real tough.”
Schmidt began the season with the Yankees, made four appearances and pitched to a 1.08 ERA with eight strikeouts over 8.1 innings pitched. He said the plan right now is for him to go get stretched out.
Andujar, who has been the odd man out since losing his starting third base job when he was injured in 2019, made his first start since being called up on Tuesday. He went 2-for-4 and scored a run.
“He’s in such a better place than he’s been the last couple years. He’s been ready the whole time. He had a huge impact too (Sunday). He was battle, battle, battle to get on base and another hit off the tough righty there later. So, I know it’s not easy for him right now, but I feel like his mindset is really good right now,” Boone said. “He’s just trying to be the best player he can be and it feels like physically he’s going to a really good space right now. "
The Dominican native had a huge offensive season as a rookie in 2018, batting .297/.328/.527 with an .855 OPS with 47 doubles, 27 homers and 92 RBI. He finished as a runner-up to Shohei Ohtani in the Rookie of the Year voting.
And then he injured his shoulder, the Yankees brought up Gio Urshela to be their everyday third baseman and Andujar was left looking for a spot.
That has affected his offense.
Since that breakout rookie season, he hit .228 with seven homers and 18 RBI in 78 games from 2019 to last season. He was sent to the minor at the end of spring training.
CHAPMAN’S 150th
It hasn’t been easy, but Aroldis Chapman has gotten the job done. In six save opportunities this season, he has converted all six. Sunday, he picked up his 150th in a Yankee uniform.
Trying to protect a two-run lead, Chapman gave up a two-out single to Nicky Lopez and then walked Whit Merrifield, before coaxing a ground out from Andrew Benintendi to end the game.
“It hasn’t been perfect. But yeah, he hasn’t allowed to run yet obviously. He’s finding a way to get it done and making pitches when he needs to,” Boone said. “He’s leaning on all three of (of his pitches). The fastball. slider and splitter have all been a factor for him. And he’s navigating it pretty well.”
Boone said he wasn’t concerned about the number of baserunners the 34-year old closer has had in those opportunities.
“The bottom line is he’s slamming the door.”

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Yadiel Hernandez drove in a career-high five runs with three hits as the Washington Nationals beat the San Francisco Giants 11-5 on Sunday.
Juan Soto also had three hits and scored three times for the Nationals. Washington's Lucius Fox got his first two hits in the majors after beginning his career 0 for 20.
Josiah Gray (3-2) allowed one hit in six innings, working around four walks while striking out three. The right-hander, part of the trade that sent Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Dodgers at the deadline last season, didn’t allow a hit until Jason Krizan’s two-out single in the fifth.
Hernandez, who had seven RBIs through Washington’s first 23 games, hit a two-run single in the first inning when the Nationals scored five runs – four unearned – and took advantage of a costly error and Alex Cobb’s wildness.
After the Giants scored five times off Washington’s bullpen in the seventh to cut the Nationals lead to 8-5, Hernandez lined a three-run double off Jake McGee in the eighth.
Cobb (1-1), who was activated off the injured list before the game, couldn’t get on track. He allowed Hernandez’s single, walked three of the next five and was called for a balk with the bases loaded.
Mike Ford, claimed by the Giants off waivers Saturday after being designated for assignment by the Mariners, had a two-run single in the seventh.
MAKING MEMORIES
Krizan’s single off Gray was the first of his career and came in front of his wife and young child, who were in the stands. The rookie outfielder was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas when the Giants placed first baseman Brandon Belt on the COVID-19 list.
GLOVE WORK
Nationals third baseman Maikel Franco took a hit away from Wilmer Flores in the first inning when he chased a grounder into foul territory, leaped and made a strong throw back across his body to first baseman Josh Bell.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Nationals: Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross will both face hitters this week at the team’s facilities in West Palm Beach, Florida, an important step in the rehabilitation for both right-handers. Strasburg, who has made seven starts since signing a $245 million, seven-year contract after being the World Series MVP in 2019, is trying to work his way back from thoracic outlet surgery. Ross underwent surgery to remove bone spurs in his right elbow in March.
Giants: Cobb missed 12 games with an adductor strain. RHP Kervin Castro was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento to make room.
UP NEXT
Nationals: RHP Erick Fedde (1-2, 6.00 ERA) starts against the Rockies for the first time since 2018 in the opener of a three-game series in Colorado on Tuesday.
Giants: Carlos Rodón (3-0, 1.17) faces the Dodgers and Julio Urías (1-1, 2.50) in a matchup of left-handers Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Love Island bosses 'create biggest gym and workout area in villa to get testosterone flowing and incite more hook-ups'
Love Island bosses have reportedly created the biggest gym and workout area ever seen on the ITV2 programme.
It is alleged that they hope that the new feature will get the Islanders' hearts racing and incite them to hook up more with each other.
Speaking to The Sun, a show insider said: 'Viewers love all the scenes of rippling muscles and sexy squats.
Work out: Love Island bosses have reportedly created the biggest gym and workout area ever seen on the ITV2 programme (pictured June 2018)
'Now producers hope that extra space for couples to work out will lead to more hook-ups as the testosterone flows.'
MailOnline has contacted ITV for comment.
Earlier this month it was claimed the ITV2 show's new sexy, young cast were just days away from filming the advert, with the promo teasing the programme's longest ever instalment.
Pulses racing: It is alleged that they hope that the new feature will get the Islanders' hearts racing and incite them to hook up more with each other (pictured June 2018)
A source told The Sun: 'The schedules are being put together now and fans can expect a long, hot summer of fun from the villa from June 6.
'Filming for the promotional adverts is beginning in the next couple of weeks and the ads will start in May.
'This series is going to be the longest ever and it's from a brand new location so it's all very exciting.'
Love Island start date revealed: The new series is set to begin on June 6 at undisclosed villa in Mallorca (pictured in June 2021)
A representative for ITV told MailOnline at the time: 'It's too soon for us to confirm the schedule.'
It comes after Love Island bosses confirmed they were on the lookout for a new villa in March, following swirling speculation among viewers.
Contestants on the show have filmed at the same Majorcan property for five years, however producers have started hunting for a new space on the island in a bid to spruce up the show.
Coming back: A source said: 'The schedules are being put together now and fans can expect a long, hot summer of fun from the villa from June 6' (pictured in 2021)
Kevin Lygo, ITV's managing director of media and entertainment, told PA Media how the 'marvellous' new mansion will make for a 'great' eighth series.
He revealed of the sprawling property: 'We didn't own it. We rented it and we are choosing a new house for this summer so that is all secrecy.
'It is going to be marvellous. Yes, it is going to be in Mallorca. It is going to be a great one [series].'
The Sun previously reported that the villa is likely to be 'moving to the foothills of mountains, by a lake or to the coast' of the Balearic hotspot.
Series one and two of Love Island was filmed at a property in southern Majorca's Santanyi region before being moved to the current location of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar in the north-east.
A source told the publication: 'ITV bosses think this is the right moment to refresh this element of the show, just as they did in series three back in 2017.
'Bosses are conscious of the fact that this is also an opportunity to consider all the new elements they could introduce to enhance the show even further.'
They added: 'For fans of Love Island this is huge news and they'll be eager to see what the new villa looks like and how much it could change the show.'
Exciting: Filming for the promotional adverts was due to happen this month and the ads will start in May (pictured in July 2021) | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10773597/Love-Island-bosses-create-biggest-gym-workout-area-villa-incite-hook-ups.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-05-02T00:51:35Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10773597/Love-Island-bosses-create-biggest-gym-workout-area-villa-incite-hook-ups.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

Boost for over-stretched vicars as retired City staff, police and teachers are fast-tracked into clergy career
- 'Caleb Stream' project aims to find new priests for parishes
- It is hoped that up to 8,000 Church of England worshippers could train
- They would train after retirement and be 'self-supporting'
- Already, one person has been ordained and ten others are in training
Retired City workers, head teachers and police officers are being fast-tracked into the clergy to help rural churches and overstretched vicars in a new scheme.
The 'Caleb Stream' project aims to find new priests for parishes from retired people within their congregations.
Those aged over 55 are not usually put forward for ordination as the retirement age for clergy is 70 and the selection and training process can take up to five years.
But the Caleb Stream, which is named after the biblical figure who still felt strong enough to prove his worth at 85, has reduced this to a single year.
It is hoped that up to 8,000 Church of England worshippers – particularly those with managerial experience who have served as church wardens or lay ministers – could be trained as priests after retirement. They will be 'self-supporting' and won't be paid a stipend nor need a vicarage as they already live locally.

A 67-year-old former partner at a consulting firm has already been ordained while ten others, including a former boarding school headmistress and a retired police constable, are in training.
Thousands of churches no longer have their own dedicated priest, with some vicars overseeing 20 or more parishes.
It is hoped that restoring a system of 'one-priest-per-church' will boost congregations by forming closer relationships between communities and their vicars.
The Rev Nicky Gumbel, 67, who is stepping down after 17 years as vicar of Holy Trinity, Brompton, in west London, is championing the Caleb Stream.

He told The Times there were about half a million Anglican churchgoers aged between 55 and 72. 'They've been involved in church all their life, some are licensed lay ministers, lay chaplains, church wardens, some are just dedicated church people,' he said.
'How hard would it be to find 8,000 who would give 25 years for free after they've left life in the City or police force?'
The first Caleb graduate, the Rev Anthony Goddard, 67, was ordained last June.
A curate at his parish in West Sussex, he spent 20 years working for ICI and four years as a partner at Accenture.
He said: 'Most people at 60 have a lot of life experience, a lot of professional experience – possibly in leadership roles, and hopefully have a good track record of Christian ministry.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10773613/Boost-stretched-vicars.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-05-02T00:57:18Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10773613/Boost-stretched-vicars.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
A Missing Endangered Person Advisory has been issued for 89-year-old Mario Locatelli of Hamilton.
Mario left his home in Hamilton on Saturday, headed to Parawon, UT. He did not arrive at his destination and has not been seen since. There is concern for Mario's safety as he suffers from dementia.

She's up! Whitmore 1st woman to start Atlantic League game
GASTONIA, N.C. (AP) - Kelsie Whitmore played left field and batted ninth for the Staten Island FerryHawks on Sunday, becoming the first woman to start a game in the Atlantic League and one of the first to do so in a league connected to Major League Baseball.
The 23-year-old Whitmore cracked manager Edgardo Alfonzo's lineup for the FerryHawks' game at the Gastonia Honey Hunters.
Whitmore, a right-handed hitter, struck out in her first at-bat. She was hit by a pitch in the second - she hustled toward first base after being struck in the arm by a breaking pitch - and flied out to right in her third time up.
Whitmore had previously come off the bench for Staten Island, making her debut on April 21 at Charleston as a pinch-runner with two outs in the ninth inning.
Whitmore is a two-way player and has been working with pitching coach and former big leaguer Nelson Figueroa, but she's yet to pitch in a game for Staten Island.
A former college softball player at Cal State Fullerton, Whitmore signed with Staten Island this month, one of several notable moments for women in baseball this season.

Last month, San Francisco Giants coach Alyssa Nakken filled in as first base coach, becoming the first woman to coach on the field for a big league game. A few days before that, Rachel Balkovec won her debut managing the Low-A Tampa Tarpons in the New York Yankees' system, becoming the first woman to skipper a team affiliated with a major league club.
Whitmore pitched and played in the outfield for the U.S. women's baseball team from 2014-19 and spent parts of two seasons with the Sonoma Stompers of the independent Pacific Association.
Atlantic League teams are not big league affiliates, but the circuit is an MLB partner league. It's a step up in quality from the Pacific Association.
"I´m grateful for all the opportunities I´ve been given," Whitmore said prior to the season. "This one, by far, I´m really looking forward to, because it´s next level for me."
At least two other women have played in a league with a connection to MLB: Lee Anne Ketcham and Julie Croteau were on the Maui Stingrays in the Hawaiian Winter Baseball League in 1994.
"Playing baseball at the highest level is my goal," Whitmore said. "You know, if you ask any other guy that's going to be in the league what his goal is, it's the same thing, to get to the next level and play at the highest level I could possibly play at.
"Eventually, I want to play in affiliated ball. I want to make this game my career, my living, and just, you know, be a part of it as much as I can."

Australia to kick off home Rugby Championship schedule in Adelaide
MELBOURNE, May 2 (Reuters) - Test rugby will return to Adelaide for the first time in nearly 20 years when Australia hosts South Africa in the Wallabies' first home Rugby Championship clash in August.
Australia meet the Springboks at Adelaide Oval on Aug. 27, the Wallabies' first match at the venue since playing the Pacific Islanders team there in 2004.
The teams then play in Sydney a week later at a venue to be determined, Rugby Australia said in a statement on Monday.
Australia will face New Zealand at Melbourne's Docklands stadium on Sept. 15, the match also doubling as the first of two Bledisloe Cup tests.
The Bledisloe Cup is the annual series between the Wallabies and the All Blacks dating back to the 1930s. New Zealand whitewashed Australia 3-0 last year to retain the trophy for a 19th straight season.
Australia open the Rugby Championship with back-to-back away tests against Argentina in Mendoza on Aug. 6 and San Juan a week later, with their last match of the tournament against New Zealand at Eden Park on Sept. 24.
Australia, coached by Kiwi Dave Rennie, were runners-up behind champions New Zealand in last year's tournament.
Rugby Australia also confirmed the national women's "Wallaroos" side will meet world champions New Zealand at Adelaide Oval in a double-header before the Wallabies-Springboks test.
The Wallaroos clash will serve as a warm-up for the Women's World Cup starting in New Zealand in October.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Being homeless in Los Angeles and struggling with addiction is hard enough, but Rachel Niebur couldn’t imagine enduring it without her dog Petey.
Niebur credits her constant companion, an energetic black and white chihuahua mix, with helping her keep off drugs and giving her a reason to get up in the morning.
“She needs me. She gives me my focus. I have to feed her. I have to walk her. It’s a real relationship,” said Niebur, before following Petey to the small, fenced-in dog park on the grounds of the shelter in the Venice neighborhood where the inseparable pair have lived for about two years.
Traditional homeless shelters have long been off limits to pets, leaving animal owners who want to get off the streets with a difficult choice. But as homelessness surges across the U.S., those working toward a solution are increasingly recognizing the importance pets have for vulnerable populations and are looking for ways to keep owners and pets together.
When given the choice between getting shelter or giving up their pet, unhoused people will almost always choose to remain on the streets, said Tim Huxford, the associate director of the Venice facility now home Niebur and Petey.
“So we always want to reduce the amount of barriers that we have for people in bringing them off the street,” he said. “We realize that pets are like family to people.”
The Venice shelter operated by the nonprofit People Assisting the Homeless, or PATH, was the first of its kind in Los Angeles County to allow residents to bring animal companions, Huxford said.
Thanks to a state grant, PATH has a budget for food, crates, toys and veterinary services under an initiative called the Pet Assistance and Support program. In 2019, the pilot program provided $5 million to nonprofits and local jurisdictions, and that amount was doubled the following year. Now pending legislation would make the grant program permanent, while expanding it across the state.
State Sen. Robert Hertzberg, who wrote the bill that would expand the program, estimates that about 10% of homeless Californians have pets. And the reason many shelters don’t accept animals is simply because they don’t have resources to care for them, said Hertzberg, a dog owner.
He called pets “our comfort” and cited research that found animals provide companionship and a sense of purpose to people who don’t have housing.
The Democrat from Los Angeles said it’s just “raging common sense” to give nonprofits and other caregivers the budgets they need to feed and house pets, especially considering how much California already allocates to address the statewide homelessness crisis.
“We’re spending a billion dollars over here to get people off the street; why can’t we spend a few dollars over there to put together veterinary services and dog food and crates? These are grants of between $100,000 and $200,000, so it’s not a ton of money in the grand scheme of things,” Hertzberg said.
The money would come the state’s general fund, so it’s not cutting into any existing funding, Hertzberg said. The measure, SB513, unanimously passed the state Senate in January and now awaits consideration in the Assembly.
The California law is part of a larger national recognition of the issue.
In Arizona, for example, there are several organizations that take care of animals for residents who are struggling to get back on their feet.
A nonprofit no-kill shelter called Lost Our Home provides up to 90 days of pet care for homeless people while they search for a permanent place to live following a crisis like eviction, domestic violence or medical treatment.
Don Kitch manages one of several shelters operated in the Phoenix area by the nonprofit Family Promise, among the few that allow people to keep their pets at a separate area for the animals at the site. He said his shelter was currently housing four dogs, two cats and a Guinea pig.
“Unfortunately, there are very few facilities around here that will accept pets,” said Kitch.
He said many shelters do allow service animals, and less frequently emotional support animals.
Kitch said the Arizona Humane Society takes in pets for 90 days to allow their owners time to find stable housing, while the Sojourner Center allows domestic violence victims to keep their pets at the shelter.
Kitch said Family Promise used a grant from PetSmart to get started with its program to house pets. He said he’d welcome a law like California’s, because “anything to defray the cost would be ideal for a nonprofit homeless shelter like ours.”
The national nonprofit Best Friends Animal Society has joined forces with Catholic Charities USA to push for programs that keep homeless people and their pets together. The group Feeding Pets of the Homeless organizes veterinary clinics and donation drives for pet food and supplies.
The ASPCA and other animal care groups are urging the California bills’ passage.
“The ASPCA believes that financial circumstances alone are not reliable indicators of the capacity to love and care for a companion animal and that pets are incredible source of support and companionship in our lives, especially during times of stress and uncertainty,” said Susan Riggs, the ASPCA’s Senior Director of Housing Policy.
One of Petey’s canine companions at the Venice PATH facility is Champ, a pit bull mix that his owner Ro Mantooth calls “the mascot” of the shelter.
“He’s really my best friend. I don’t know what I’d do without him,” Mantooth, 29, said of Champ. “I’m lucky to have him. Not a lot of places are going to take animals, you know?”
In addition to Petey and Champ, there are eight other dogs and one cat at the Venice shelter. Huxford said another PATH facility has a parrot in a cage. Technically there are no rules about what animals can be admitted, he said, but that hasn’t been tested yet.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ray Charles and The Judds joined the Country Music Hall of Fame on Sunday in a ceremony filled with tears, music and laughter, just a day after Naomi Judd died unexpectedly.
The loss of Naomi Judd altered the normally celebratory ceremony, but the music played on, as the genre’s singers and musicians mourned Naomi Judd while also celebrating the four inductees: The Judds, Ray Charles, Eddie Bayers and Pete Drake. Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Vince Gill and many more performed their hit songs.
Naomi and Wynonna Judd were among the most popular duos of the 1980s, scoring 14 No. 1 hits during their nearly three-decade career. On the eve of her induction, the family said in a statement to The Associated Press that Naomi Judd died at the age of 76 due to “the disease of mental illness.”
Daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd accepted the induction amid tears, holding onto each other and reciting a Bible verse together.
“I’m sorry that she couldn’t hang on until today,” Ashley Judd said of her mother to the crowd while crying. Wynonna Judd talked about the family gathering as they said goodbye to her and she and Ashley Judd recited Psalm 23.
“Though my heart is broken I will continue to sing,” Wynonna Judd said.
Fans gathered outside the museum, drawn to a white floral bouquet outside the entrance and a small framed photo of Naomi Judd below. A single rose was laid on the ground.
Charles’ induction showcased his genre-defying country releases,which showed the genre’s commercial appeal. The Georgia-born singer and piano player grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry and in 1962 released “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music,” which became one of the best selling country releases of his era.
The piano player, blinded and orphaned at a young age, is best known for R&B, gospel and soul, but his decision to record country music changed the way the world thought about the genre, expanding audiences in the Civil Rights era.
Charles’ version of “I Can’t Stop Loving You,” spent five weeks on top of the Billboard 100 chart and remains one of his most popular songs. He died in 2004.
Brooks sang “Seven Spanish Angels,” one of Charles’ hits with Willie Nelson, while Bettye LaVette performed “I Can’t Stop Loving You.”
Country Music Hall of Famer Ronnie Milsap said he met Charles when he was a young singer and that others tried to imitate Charles, but no one could measure up.
“There was one of him and only one,” said Milsap. “He sang country music like it should be sung.”
The Hall of Fame also inducted two recordings musicians who were elemental to so many country songs and singers: Eddie Bayers and Pete Drake.
Bayers, a drummer in Nashville for decades who worked on 300 platinum records, is a member of the Grand Ole Opry band. He regularly played on records for The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, George Strait, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney. He is the first drummer to join the institution.
Drake, who died in 1988, was a pedal steel guitar player and a member of Nashville’s A-team of skilled session musicians, played on hits like “Stand By Your Man” by Tammy Wynette and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones. He is the first pedal steel guitar player to become part of the Hall of Fame. | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/news/national/judds-ray-charles-to-be-inducted-into-country-hall-of-fame/ | 2022-05-02T02:06:23Z | https://www.wearegreenbay.com/news/national/judds-ray-charles-to-be-inducted-into-country-hall-of-fame/ | true |
Sen. Schumer: Proceeds from the sale of Russian oligarchs' assets should go to Ukraine
The DOJ launched Task Force KleptoCapture to target Russian oligarchs' wealth in March
The United States should seize and sell the yachts, mansions, and other assets of Russian oligarchs, then send the proceeds to Ukraine, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on Sunday.
"I will be adding provisions that allow us to go after the oligarchs, take their money, and send it right to Ukraine," Schumer said, referring to provisions that he plans to add to a $33 billion aid package requested by the Biden administration this week.
"There’s no reason that Putin's viciousness and these ill-gotten gains should just stay the way they are when Ukraine desperately needs the money," he added.
President Biden asked Congress on Friday to authorize $33 billion in military, economic, and humanitarian aid for Ukraine, more than double the $13.6 billion package that Congress approved in early March.
RUSSIA INVADES UKRAINE: LIVE UPDATES
The Justice Department launched Task Force KleptoCapture to go after Russian oligarchs' wealth in March.
Investigators worked with Spanish authorities to seize the 225-foot, $90 million luxury yacht Tango from Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg last month.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this week that he is "grateful to the American people" for the continued support with the proposed $33 billion aid package.
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS MUST BE ‘HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WAR CRIMES’: GEN. BREEDLOVE
"President Biden rightly said today that this step is not cheap," Zelenskyy said.
"But the negative consequences for the whole world from Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and against democracy are so massive that by comparison the U.S. support is necessary."

The provisions that Schumer said he will add to the aid package will also streamline the forfeiture process and make it a federal crime to possess proceeds gained through "corrupt dealings with the Russian government." | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/proceeds-from-sale-russian-oligarchs-assets-ukraine-schumer | 2022-05-02T02:10:25Z | https://www.foxnews.com/politics/proceeds-from-sale-russian-oligarchs-assets-ukraine-schumer | false |

Biden calls former VP Mondale ‘giant’ of political history
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — President Joe Biden saluted his “friend of five decades” Walter Mondale on Sunday, traveling to the University of Minnesota to remember the former vice president and Democratic Party elder whose memorial service was delayed for a year due to the pandemic.
Mondale died in April 2021 at age 93. He is credited with transforming the office of the vice presidency — which Biden himself held for eight years under President Barack Obama — expanding its responsibilities and making himself a key adviser to President Jimmy Carter.
Mondale “was a giant in American political history,” Biden said of Mondale, known to friends as “Fritz.” He added that Mondale was one of the “toughest, smartest men I’ve ever worked with” both as Senate colleagues and as a mentor when Biden was Obama’s No. 2 and then later as president.
Biden emphasized Mondale’s empathy, recalling his own promise during the 2020 presidential campaign to unite the country. That’s something the president has strayed from a bit in recent weeks, as he seeks to draw a starker contrast between his administration and congressional Republicans who have opposed it on nearly every major issue.
“It was Fritz who lit the way.” Biden said. “Everybody is to be treated with dignity. Everybody.”
Biden added of Mondale: “He united people sharing the light, the same hopes — even when we disagreed, he thought that was important.”
“It’s up to each of us to reflect that light that Fritz was all about.”
The invitation-only, 90-minute service Sunday inside a stately campus auditorium featured plentiful organ music. Biden, who received a standing ovation, said he spoke with Mondale’s family beforehand and “got emotional” himself.
Democratic Sen. Tina Smith called Mondale a “bona fide political celebrity” who still dedicated time to races large and small back in their home state. Minnesota civil rights icon Josie Johnson spoke of what a good listener Mondale was and how he championed inclusiveness.
Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar described once being an intern who climbed under chairs and a table to carry out a furniture inventory when Mondale was vice president.
“That was my first job in Washington. And, thanks to Walter Mondale, this was my second,” Klobuchar said of being a senator, noting that Mondale encouraged her to run and taught “the pundits in Washington how to say my name.”
Democratic Gov. Tim Walz said Minnesota may be better known as Mondale’s home state than its moniker “The Land of 10,000 Lakes,” and praised Mondale’s intellect, humility, humor and optimism.
“He embodied a sense of joy. He lived his life every single day,” Walz said. “At 91, he was still fishing for walleye. Unlike me, he was catching some.”
A booklet given to attendees for the “afternoon of remembrance and reflection” quoted from Mondale’s 2010 book, “The Good Fight”: “I believe that the values of the American people — our fundamental decency, our sense of justice and fairness, our love of freedom — are the country’s greatest assets, and that steering by their lodestar is the only true course forward.”
Its back cover showed Mondale’s face next to the slogan, “We told the truth. We obeyed the law. We kept the peace,” which Klobuchar described as being memorialized after the then-vice president said them at the end of the Carter administration.
Mondale was a graduate of the University of Minnesota and its law school, which has a building named after him. During Sunday’s remembrance, Biden wiped his eyes as a performance of “Tomorrow” from the musical “Annie” played, and the service closed with the university’s marching band, which sent people away with the “Minnesota Rouser” fight song.
Mondale followed a trail blazed by his political mentor, Hubert H. Humphrey, serving as Minnesota attorney general before replacing Humphrey in the Senate. He was Carter’s vice president from 1977 to 1981.
Mondale also lost one of the most lopsided presidential elections ever, to Ronald Reagan in 1984. He carried only Minnesota and the District of Columbia after bluntly telling voters to expect a tax increase if he won. But he made history in that race by picking Rep. Geraldine Ferraro, of New York, as his running mate, becoming the first major-party nominee to put a woman on the ticket.
Mondale remained an important Democratic voice for decades afterward, and went on to serve as ambassador to Japan under President Bill Clinton. In 2002, at 74, he was drafted to run for the Senate again after Sen. Paul Wellstone was killed in a plane crash shortly before the election. Mondale lost the abbreviated race to Republican Norm Coleman.

Married At First Sight's Ella Ding and Brent Vitiello finally confirm they've KISSED after weeks of romance rumours: 'I just grabbed his face'
Married At First Sight stars Ella Ding and Brent Vitiello have finally shared their first kiss following weeks of romance rumours.
Ella, 28, confirmed the pair's friendship had taken a romantic turn during an interview with Nova FM's Fitzy & Wippa on Monday, after the radio show sent them to Cairns for a weekend getaway together.
'We have kissed, guys,' Brent said, before Ella revealed she had initiated the smooch, adding: 'I did. I just grabbed his face.'
It's happened! Married At First Sight star Ella Ding (left) and Brent Vitiello (right) have finally confirmed they've shared their first kiss together following weeks of romance rumours
'It just happened. But to be fair, I'm sure there was many more times that we wanted to, except I did get a little crook and I wouldn't have kissed me either seeing the state I was in for a bit,' said hospitality manager Brent, 33.
Radio host Ryan 'Fitzy' Fitzgerald then asked if the couple were official.
'Can we can we call it right now? Are is Team Brella official? Or are you going to continue your friendship?' he said.
'Well, what I think is before anything, there has to be friendship. And right now we are really getting to know each other on those really deep levels, so I think that it…' beautician Ella replied.
Co-host Michael 'Wippa' Wipfli interrupted: 'So are you together or not?'
Giddy: 'We have kissed, guys,' Brent, 34, said, while Ella admitted she'd initiated the smooch, adding: 'I did. I just grabbed his face'
'We're not we're not making anything official,' Brent responded. 'Yeah, I mean, I think that's where that's where it creates tension and pressure.
'I think if it's going to be official, it'll just happen on its own organically.'
It comes just weeks after Ella revealed she had enjoyed a 'sleepover' with Brent.
She said on The Handbags podcast last month: 'We are just friends. We've even had a sleepover and nothing's happened. Nothing.'
Rumours: It comes after Ella revealed she had enjoyed a 'sleepover' with Brent
After host Michael Brunelli asked if the door was open for a relationship with Brent in the future, Ella responded: 'It's so hard for me to answer right now.
'I think Brent is gorgeous. Totally attracted to him. But my headspace is like - I'm still healing, hurting, and thinking about [ex-'husband'] Mitch [Eynaud] and Tamara [Djordjevic, Brent's on-screen wife] still p***es me off.
'I still feel like I don't really know Brent. I think that we're just spending good quality time together now.'
Shutting down speculation: Speaking on The Handbags podcast last month, Ella said: 'We are just friends. We've even had a sleepover and nothing's happened. Nothing'
She added that 'Brent actually sent me flowers on my birthday last week', which was 'very thoughtful'.
'He didn't write his name on it, but I knew it was from him,' she said.
Ella had been ghosted by her on-screen husband Mitch Eynaud just days after they filmed the MAFS reunion dinner party in Sydney in January.
The financial planner, 27, reportedly broke things off because he was upset about her staging paparazzi photos with Brent.

Their marriage was already on shaky ground by the reunion as Mitch had earlier tried to end things at their final vows, telling Ella he wasn't ready to commit.
But they reconciled when Ella flew to the Gold Coast for a 'make-or-break' holiday.
Meanwhile, Ella and Brent's former MAFS spouses are now rumoured to be dating.
Mitch was spotted looking cosy with Tamara Djordjevic at a bar on the Gold Coast in February, and have been seen together multiple times since.
